This morning I am unable to load Facebook. The log in page comes up. After I log in the title page and notifications etc, my mini picture all works - but no sidebar, no content.

I cross checked and it works fine in IE

Thoughts anyone?

Make sure that your firewall (ZoneAlarm / ForceField) isn't blocking that content.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.

Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Forgot to say I have tried reinstalling Firefox and also restored my computer to a point before last night (when it worked perfectly).
