Pandora used to run fine in Firefox but now it says "a browser plugin or firewall may be preventing Pandora from opening."

Hello Beecher72 ,

Does it works well in other browsers? Try in the safari and see if u get same error message. If yes, it might be some issues with Firewall. If it works well in Safari / other browsers, it might be because of settings / plugins.


Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.  
  

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.


When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
