I have been playing Scrabble on Facebook for a while but suddenly it just blinks and doesn't open. It does open if I switch to Google Chrome.

Hi Bruce Levine, is Scrabble a Flash game? You might double-check that Flash is activated for the page, and that it is up-to-date:

If it's not a Flash issue, these are standard suggestions to try when a site known to work in Firefox stops working normally:

Double-check content blockers: Firefox's Content Blocking feature and extensions that counter ads and tracking may break websites that embed third party content (meaning, from a secondary server).

(A) Do you see a shield icon toward the left end of the address bar, near the lock icon? More info on managing the Tracking Protection feature in this article: Content Blocking.

(B) Extensions such as Adblock Plus, Blur, Disconnect, Ghostery, NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin or uMatrix should provide toolbar buttons to manage blocked content in a page. There may or may not be a number on the icon indicating the number of blocked items; you may need to click the button to see what's going on and test whether you need to make an exception for this site.

Cache and Cookies: When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

(1) Clear Firefox's Cache

See: How to clear the Firefox cache

If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.

(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, click the padlock or "i" icon in the address bar. After a moment, a "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button should appear at the bottom. Click that.

In the dialog that opens, you will see one or more matches to the current address so you can remove the site's cookies individually without affecting other sites.

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Testing in Firefox's Safe Mode: In its Safe Mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.

If Firefox is not running: Hold down the option/alt key when starting Firefox. (On Windows, hold down the Shift key instead of the option/alt key.)

If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > "?" Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

and OK the restart.

Both scenarios: A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (not Refresh).

Any improvement?

I get redirected to a page with a "Log in with Facebook" overlay from FB that says saying I need to enable apps, websites, and games. That's something I don't want to enable on my account, so I will need to find a different account for testing.

Hi Mary, thank you fr the screen shot. Those error messages are not intended for web users to see, they are file paths internal to the web server. So for some reason the PHP script isn't running correctly when requested by your Firefox. But the game seems to be encountering something it wasn't designed to handle, perhaps a modified or missing cookie or other parameter coming from Firefox to the server.

Could you pop the game out of the frame:

right-click in the background area, This Frame, Open Frame in New Tab

Assuming the page doesn't reframe itself, this should allow address bar icons and toolbar buttons to show whether anything is being blocked in the framed page.

Any new information or behavior there?

I tried it - just takes me to the same problem page.

It would be useful if someone at EA could look at those two error lines and indicate what information might be blocked from coming through to the site to trigger those errors.

Hi Mary, the errors in your screenshot are server-side errors. The folder

/var/www/html

is the root folder of the website on the server, and not the path Firefox would use to load a script.

I can only speculate that the game requires some information from Firefox and isn't receiving it and is not handling the problem gracefully.

You could try:

New Profile Test

This takes about 3 minutes, plus the time to test the game.

Inside Firefox, type or paste about:profiles in the address bar and press Enter/Return to load it.

Click the "Create a New Profile" button, then click Next. Assign a name like Aug2019, ignore the option to relocate the profile folder, and click the Finish button.

After creating the profile, scroll down to it and click the Launch profile in new browser button.

Firefox should open a new window that looks like a brand new, uncustomized installation. (Your existing Firefox window(s) should not be affected.) Please ignore any tabs enticing you to connect to a Sync account or to activate extensions found on your system so we can get a clean test.

Does Scrabble work any better in the new profile?

When you are done with the experiment, you can close the extra window without affecting your regular Firefox profile. (Aug2019 will remain available for future testing.)

Since the error message is flashing only for a moment, can you also check if the browser is not blocking pop-ups:
