When I click certain buttons (to register for an account or place an order) either nothing happens, or it just hangs there. What settings do I need to adjust?
Lately, on certain websites, like Fox News - I open a tab in a new link and it just spins.
Today, I just tried to register an account with a glass company, and I hit the button to register, and nothing happened.
Yesterday on a different site, I went to place an order, and everything grayed out and it just stayed like that.
What do I need to adjust in order for this to stop happening?
Thanks! Shari Blauner

Hey sandl, I have tried the first website that you mentioned and you are right, nothing happens. However, I also tried in another browser and I noticed it also does nothing there, so I think this is not a Firefox problem but a website problem, you might want to reach out to them directly. For the second one, are, are you actually logged in on x when trying to click?

Hey Shari, could you add here the URLs of the websites you have issues with?
https://www.delphiglass.com/login?r=1 At this one, I was trying to register for a new account, and it wouldn't let me.

With this one, I try to click on the picture, which normally would open it in a new tab or enlarge the image, but it no longer does that.
Thanks for any/all help! Shari

Really?? Well, I greatly appreciate the response. I'll write to Delphi and tell them they have an issue! No, I'm not logged into X, as I don't have an account. However, in the past I've not had an issue when clicking on a picture. It automatically opened up in an enlarged area and allowed me to click through the post (but not anywhere else bc not logged in). Now, it doesn't do anything.
Yeah I see that X just links back to the same page (or forces a login form) when clicking on a photo, possibly yet another change on their side to annoy users.
I usually just swap the "x.com" in the domain for "xcancel.com" to get an alternative rendering, like that: https://xcancel.com/Variety/status/2051762601789657144 — which does let me click around freely, without any X bloat and nagging.
Oh, really??? I didn't even know you could do that! Thanks!
