Just recently I changed my privacy settings to take advantage of the privacy opt-out option for websites not to share my data or information. I went to my AMX credit card account and now every time I move to a new page the message, "Your Global Privacy Control opt-out signal has been honored" pops up and gets in the way of the information on the page. I am constantly having to click on the X in the corner to close the message box. Once would be enough for each main website. Having it pop up every time is absolutely annoying. I like having this option but if it's going to make me have to close the informational box every time I move to a new page or back to a former page, then I will have to undo the choice. The web designer who put this message text into the Firefox browser needs to find a way to only have it pop up once if they feel it is really necessary to tell me that they are blocking information from other companies. I really don't even need the first message just as long as it works behind the scenes. I hope someone gets web support to look into this issue. It's just so annoying.

When browsing on IMDb (see image attached) when I click on the "See All" button just above "Soundtrack" at the bottom of the image nothing happens. This should expand the list above it, in the case an actor's credits. I have NoScript 13.5.2 installed but all scripts are allowed here. I get this on all the IMDb pages.

bold text I am getting more annoyed by the minute...very annoyed, and no one is helping me.

Firefox, for whatever idiotic reason, is not allowing me to respond on my own blog. I've just about had enough of all this nonsense. No one seems to want to fix the problem!

This is not good enough....

I work at a small daily newspaper chain, and our website CMS is both archaic and homebrew. I only work with it sporadically, and Firefox is the best option for maintaining it.

This morning, I got the regular "Are you sure you want to delete this?" dialog box (pretty sure it's a Javascript call) with the additional check box of "Do you want (URL) to not prompt you for this any longer?" (or words to that effect).

I thought, "Great, one less click" and made that selection.

But now when I want to delete an item off the articles list, it doesn't delete at all.

I'm pretty browser-savvy, but I don't know how to re-enable that option. Any ideas?

A new Facebook link can open Firefox and work, but subsequent Facebook links result in a failure. The error message is "This content isn't available right now When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted."

The Facebook links work with other browsers.

Restarting Firefox begins the cycle again. This has become a problem just in the last month or so.
