I have four Wordpress blogs that I visit. Wordpress has a black bar at the top of the screen that you can click on and it'll bring you back to the top of the page. I am running FF 38.0.5, and on one of these blogs this feature stopped working. I ran in safe mode and the feature worked correctly. When I unistalled each add on one by one to figure out which one it might be, the problem still persists. How can this be??

Thanks, I figured out the problem, quite by accident too. I've wanted to try uBlock over Adblock for quite some time......and whaddya know! Weird, because I had disabled Adblock too.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Did you have the two running together, or did you disable one?

That was very good work. Well Done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.

No I did not have them running together. Adblock was what I was using when I originally posted the question. The weird thing is I did disable it temporarily before I posted the question, but I still had the problem. Yesterday I decided to try ublock instead, so I naturally disabled Adblock, and this time the problem was solved. I had used Adblock for years on a different computer with the exact same default settings with no such problems, so I have no idea why this whole thing happened. Anyways, ublock installed, Adblock uninstalled. Again, thank you for all your help!

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

Thanks Fred, but figuring out how to disable Adblock wasn't my problem. Figuring out why it was blocking certain features on Wordpress was my problem. Doesn't matter now, I'm pretty certain I like Ublock better anyways. It seems lighter and quicker. I have a new question about Youtube problems that I can't find the answer too coming up in the near future anyways.....so save your answers, lol.
