When playing games I experience blockages to play in different areas and when I let them know they send me suggestions to correct the problem. i.e., clear cookies and cache. This is done daily. I have made sure the flash player is latest version and no others are present. Since these fixes didn't work they suggest I change browsers. If they others people using this why should I have to change. If I did I would have to bring someone in to do it for me. (For me computers are used to email, search, and play games.) I have no intention of changing and getting used to another system. What do you suggest I do. I am willing to play until I am totally frozen out of the games. 

   Below is what appears on my screen when I try to play:

Have you tried 1. Disabling Adblock for pch.com?

2. Clearing Cookies For cookie clearing, I'd go to the following url and follow the instructions for "To delete cookies for one site:" [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/delete-cookies-remove-info-websites-...]

3. Clearing cache [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/.../how-clear-firefox-cache#w_clear-the-cache]

Load the web page. After the page is loaded, click the down arrow next to the AdBlock icon. Now select Disable on <web site>.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
