Can't open LA Times e edition or Coldwater Creek ad, links are unresponsive
Have cleared cookies and cache which did not resolve the problem. The "open" button on the Times is not responsive and the "view in web browser" is greyed out. The " shop now" link on the Coldwater Creek ad does not open the site for shoping.

To quickly assess whether one of your extensions might be interfering with these sites, could you try them in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox.
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled (Flash and other plugins still run)
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Reset)
Any difference?
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
