Could you copy/paste the information about the blocked graphics. Here's how:

Open the support information page using either

• "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
• (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
• type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter

Scroll down to the Graphics header and select from there through the end of the table that follows, then copy (e.g., Ctrl+c) and paste into a reply. (It's normal to lose the formatting, don't worry about that.)

Regarding weather.com, there is a problem loading the page if you completely disabled location services. You can check on that here:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste geo and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If the geo.enabled preference is bolded and "user set" to false, double-click it to restore the default value of true

(4) Switch over to weather.com and test, and prepare for getting annoying permission requests...

You can make permanent site-specific location permission changes using the Permissions panel of the Page Info dialog. You can call that up using any of these:

• right-click a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Permissions
• (menu bar) Tools menu > Page Info > Permissions
• click the padlock or globe icon to the left of the site address, then the ">" icon, then More Information > Permissions

Near the top, you'll find "Access Your Location" and you can uncheck the "Use default" box and select the permission you prefer.

Note: If you have Firefox set to clear history when you close Firefox, make sure not to clear "Site Preferences" or your permissions will be deleted.

Hi jscher; Thank you so much for such a fast & helpful reply. Troubleshooting is telling me I need to update my graphic driver but when I went to Nvidia they couldn't find an update AND they wanted me to install JAVA which I uninstalled long ago due to high security risks, so I can't get the update that way and I don't think there is a different way to do so. I tinkered around with a couple about:config settings but that didn't help either so I went back to put them as they had been initially and not all of them would revert back to the way they were but I don't seem to be having any other issues....yet.

I must tell you that I went back to an older version of Firefox but it didn't correct this graphics issue so I let Firefox update itself automatically and it's showing 45.0.1 "Firefox is up to date". I don't think it is all the way up-to-date but it will get there eventually. Here's the info you requested.

OH! that geo-enable thingy? it Was set at False so I did as you said to and lo & behold, there's weather.com in all it's glory.. ha ha Who Knew!? thanks so much for that. I haven't got a clue as to how it got set to False. You figure it's something I did personally? How did I do it?

It is not the Firefox browser but Mozilla.

Thanks for sending me that. But according to the dates on those, they are from 2010 & 2011 and my being blocked has just happened in the past few days. What? Are they just now getting around to my graphics driver after all this time? What a load of doggie doo-doo. I clicked my Nvidia for a graphics update and it told me they couldn't find a better one than I already have so now where do I go? Thanks James.

Nvidia's website is a little difficult to use...

Did you try the first download on this page: http://www.geforce.com/drivers

This advanced search page allows selecting:

Product Type: GeForce Product Series: GeForce 6 Series Product: GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 Operating System: Windows XP Recommended/Beta: Recommended/Certified

http://www.nvidia.com/download/find.aspx

Sample screen shot attached.

Note: I suggest choosing a release from 2010 first to see whether that is stable before trying anything newer, and even then only advance one year at a time just in case a newer release is "too much" for your system.

Yes, I tried the dowload, well actually, I didn't. I clicked the 'search my computer' button and what comes up is that I have to install JAVA which really ticks me off. JAVA has been such a security risk that I uninstalled it long ago and I really hate to take the chance on installing it and discover that it's jinxed my system. I'll have to think long & hard on that. Thanks so much for the info. I so appreciate it.

Well, you can use the advanced search page without Java as far as I can tell.
