google news buttons no longer working
In Firefox 18 and 19, the buttons to expand / contract the news items on http://news.google.com/ are no longer work (and some no longer show up).
A similar issue was (supposedly) fixed as referenced in this thread:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2576447
But the fix (and workarounds) do not seem to work.
The problem persists after restarting in safe mode.

Thanks; I forgot about that option.
After a reset and slowly restoring my previous settings I tracked it down to having:
network.cookie.lifetimePolicy set to 1
which seems odd, but it's working again.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
- Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
- Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
- Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.
