Why is FF, after Feb 2013, not allowing me to see and use "like" and "reply" features on www.chron.com?

I can see them in Chrome and IE 8 and if I consecutively "reset" FF 2-3 times. Example, scroll down to Comments section: http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Big-fish-pulled-from-Gulf-lands-Brazoria-Co-man-4703587.php?cmpid=hpts

Win XP FF v 23.0 with plugins: Java TM Platform SE 7 U25 10.25.2.7, Shockwave Flash 11.8.800.94, VLC Plugins 2.0.0.99, Java Deployment Tool Kit 7.0.250.17, Windows Presentation Foundation 3.5.20729.1

Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using one of the following steps:

OR

  • Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows and Linux)

Let us know if this solves the issues you are having.

You may also want to disable all addons under Firefox button/Tools > Addons and see if it works there.

Through disabling/enabling Add-ons, it seems, for now, Adblock Plus was "causing" the problem. I tried reporting a Filters issue but ABP reported it was not blocking anything on www.chron.com which is usually loaded with pop-up ads and slow loading videos that surprise you. I then selected turning off ABP on chron.com which restored the ability to Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down, and Reply to commentary and the pop-up ads and videos curiously weren't a problem. Not sure why.

I'll consider this fixed for now. Thanks.
