Clear the cache and remove the cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Alas, this does NOT fix the problem. I CAN get to the NYT site, it's just the puzzle that doesn't load, although I can load it easily using Chrome. This has been going on since last Thursday, when I called the Times and was told there was a problem with both Chrome and Firefox. Obviously they've fixed it for Chrome but not for Firefox. My hope was that someone in the Firefox community could get the Times people moving.

The link is nytimes.com You'll get the front page. Then click on "today's puzzle"

Wow, I had trouble finding it. Had to use the browser's search box. On the right one page down, small print.

I tried sever puzzles. they seem to work okay.

Are you using any blocking programs / add-ons?

Disable your protection program as a test.

Hi. I tried that, among other things. It works just fine with Chrome and also with Explorer, such as it is. The good news is that someone from the Times has finally answered my query---had to write from the home page, since the "comments" button on the puzzle page also doesn't work---and it MIGHT be a problem at their end. I wouldn't be surprised. Thanks for trying.

Please keep us posted.

Good news! The NY Times tech person finally responded to my 5 queries, and they confirm that it is THEIR problem and not mine (ours). I'll just have to keep using Chrome for a while, boring but at least I can get to the puzzles. Thanks to all for your time and energy.

That was very good work. Well Done. Please flag your last post as Solved Problem so others will know.
