Why does Google voice no longer works in Firefox after adding addtional credit but does in Safari?
I am using Mac OS 10.10 with FireFox 30.0.2 as my browser. I was making calls OK on Goggle Voice through my G-Mail account. when I ran out of credit. I loaded additional credit and tried to resume calling. However, I kept get getting the following error message "Please download the voice plugin to make a call". Following the provided link lead me into a blind ally. Tried downloading a voice plugin and reinstalling, but no luck. Tried closing Firefox and reopening, but again no luck. There are no problems when using Safari as my browser. calls go through just fine.
Can't figure out why it worked just fine and thenstopped after laoding addtional credit.

The app may be blocked by default. Look for the "block" icon before the URL in the address bar. Click on it and choose "allow and remember". Google voice would start working.
