On the AARP Rewards for Good website my computer can't load any of the quizzes. All I get is a little red arrow going around and around in circles. I have explored the problem with AARP customer service, Mozilla support, and my daughter who is a computer lab specialist in an elementary school.

We have narrowed down the problem: It is not an AARP problem since they can get what I cannot using Internet Explorer. It is not a Google Chrome problem since I can get the quizzes on Google Chrome (likewise with Safari). It is not a Firefox general problem since my daughter can get the quizzes on Firefox.

What it IS, is a problem between FIREFOX and MY computer. If Firefox can't resolve it, it will be, "Goodbye, Firefox and Hello, Chrome."

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, , Discard, #Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.

You see the shield icon at the left end of the location/address bar in case content is blocked by Tracking Protection.

  • click the shield icon for more detail and possibly disable the protection
  • check the Web Console for more detail about what content is blocked by Tracking Protection
  • "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)

Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"clear the Cache:

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove the Cookies" from websites that cause problems.

  • Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> "Use custom settings for history" -> Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
