Firefox has been causing problems with: Yahoo: no matter how many times I reset the font size, it is always much bigger. Also the "From" box (where my name and email address appear) has shrunk; This does not happen in Chrome

A particular website has suddenly stopped working: http://explore.org/#!/live-cams/player/kitten-rescue-cam Instead of seeing what is going on on the live cam, all I get is a green screen. This does not happen in Chrome.

I have followed all the instructions: - Reset Firefox - Disabled and re-enabled add-ons

And yet this has solved nothing. Iam now having to run both Firefox and Chrome at the same time. This is highly frustrating. I like Firefox better than Chrome but problems are mounting up and I do need help. Has any one got some idea what is going on? Many thanks... Anna

I see two problems behind your question, so bear with me:

Yahoo: no matter how many times I reset the font size, it is always much bigger. - see Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages

A particular website has suddenly stopped working: you have a number of plug-ins active - maybe some of them are outdated (or superfluous). Check for the latest versions here:

Mozilla plug-in check

Hi Thank you for your input. I did try Font size, reset, zoom... the lot and nopes it did nothing. As I said the problem is in Firefox, not in Chrome.

I also checked the plug-ins issue and it seems they are in order and up to date. Now this morning, the website has been working again in Firefox (was working ok in Chrome). Overall Firefox's performance with some websites is poor. My health report confirms the number of times it crushes (many times a day, which is highly frustrating). I am keen to keep Firefox as it is so mcuh nicer in many ways than Chrome but it's performance is an issue for me... sigh...
