That screenshot failed to upload .....

Assuming that you have this add-on installed :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/public-fox/?src=recommended

I suggest that you contact its developer :

See under 'More information' => Support Email

Separate issue :

Your system details show that you need to update your Adobe Flash Player - you're running an old version, which can cause problems. Would you please uninstall your current version and install the latest version, which is 30.0.0.154

Uninstaller : https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Note : some 'extras' may be offered in the download.

Well done  !

I noticed that you marked my post as Chosen Solution, while I didn't really solve anthing - you did that all by yourself.

You can rectify that Chosen Solution mark by clicking on the 'Undo' button to the right of that post and then mark your own (penultimate) post as such ....
