None of the MSN online games will work in Firefox. Come up fine but when start playing stalls, hangs and essentially will not work. (Mahjongg, Bubble Town, Jig Zone). They all work fine in Explorer but will not work in Firefox. All come up fine but won't work - no curser control and hanging. All other aspects of Firefox are fine. No issues with other sites or webpages. I hate to use Explorer after experiencing the wonders of Firefox so I"m hoping there is a fix for this. Have gone trough MSN site as well as using my pre-set tabs -- same result. It had to be the browser. I am 65 and not a computer guru so fixing from my end has to be simple and easy to understand.

Thank you so very much for your assistance. I am an older woman and do not understand all about cookies and cache but followed your directions and everything is working well. How often should I do this -- and is there anything else I can check (or uncheck) on that prefernce page to keep this from happening or to make those caches and cookies work better.

Normally you don't need to. But sometimes bad data gets in.

Thanks again Fred. In options, I changed settings to "keep until I close Firefox" rather than "until they expire" and accept third parties from "visited sites: rather than "always". Is that good?

That depends on your wants and needs. If you are satisfied, great.
