immediately after a firefox update I could no longer access downloads from a paid site i belong to. I noticed a black key in the address bar I don't know what happened but I can log in but not do my searches now. I want this fixed. I also want to be able to approve any updates on my computer as in the past they have even caused problems with my yahoo email.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
