Observed different behavior between Firefox and Nightly ( on Facebook)

Firefox Troubleshooting

I like to troll on Facebook like all with too much time on their hands. I've discovered something funny happening.

I have 2 laptops. One an XP dinosaur running Firefox (x86 newest 33.0?), the other running Nightly. I'm using Nightly now.

When I'm on Facebook on ol' trusty, I like to copy/paste emoticons (smileys) from other sites. This has always worked smoothly.

On my x64 Nightly, Facebook appears to run smoothly but the the "symbols" website won't allow me to copy. Just a small black square appears when I try to select an icon.

Here's the rub. Does the "broken" website behave so because I'm running Nightly - W8.1 and WTP, both x64. or is nightly unable to interpret the site correctly??

This is the screenshot of my issue. I apologize, I didn't see the [Browse] button on the main page.

Those black boxes are showing if the Flash plugin is blocked (not activated), so check that via the Lego block icon on the location/address bar.

You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

  • Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
  • Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
  • Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
