It's been a week since I can't use Google Reader with Firefox, while I still can with other browsers.

The list of feeds in the left loads without a problem, but the posts' list on the left doesn't load.

Any assistance with this will be highly appreciated!

Please update to Firefox 11 first, which has some security fixes and other bugs worked out.

Then, read Websites look wrong, which will probably help your problem with Google Reader.

Hi Paulina, Tyler... I've done all the things in the Websites look wrong link but I'm still experiencing the problem. Paulina, could you let me know what solved yours?

Thanks in advance!

I have that issue since the update to FF 12. No issues with Google Reader before. I can only see the headings, nothing happens if I click on any of them.

On a google help page, I found the suggestion to disable the IETab extension. This worked for me.

Well, it is some extension. I started FF without Extensions, it worked. Disabled some of them, restarted, problem gone. I can't say which one it was. IETab was one of them though. As I need my Computer for work, I couldn't thoroughly test all of them...

It's not IETab 2 (the one I'm using) - I've disabled it and the Reader problem is still there. I'll try disabling all extensions just to see if it works when I have time and will keep you posted. Thanks!

I've had this problem for the last week and a half or so, since before the FF12 update, and disabling IE Tab Plus 2.0.0.0 fixed it for me.

New computer running W7 ... FF 13.0.1. Shows left column with sources. Shows no messages in main panel.

Chrome works OK.

Just had this experience this morning. I disabled all my addons and restarted and, after going through everything, found that for me, the AdBlockPlus addon was the problem. Not the whole addon itself, just the blocking on google pages.

The solution for me: disable all addons except ABP and then go to the google reader page. While on that page, click on ABP's dropdown and disable blocking on google.com. Then, go and reenable all your addons and restart.

Hopefully, this works for you as well.

I had this problem on one of my Windows XP machines on FF12 and then FF13 over the past week. After seeing this thread, I first disabled Adblock on Google, which didn't work. I then disabled IE Tab Plus 2.0. After restarting FF, Google Reader loads properly. Hopefully this will at least help those of you who have IETab installed.
