Since updating to Firefox 16.0.1, I can no longer update or add alerts on http://www.hyperalerts.no

I just get a blank orange page.

Also, I can no longer see the hurricane maps on RSOE. For example:

cor-el,

It was PrivacyFix and I've removed it. I had heard about PrivacyFix on TV the same day as I updated Firefox.

Many, many thanks!!

PrivacyFix is an Add-on that tells you when websites try to grab some of your personal information.

As for your problem with Themes, I think you should post it separately under a new title so it can be seen.
