Accessing content from within an e-mail by clicking on the access key

I am unable to access video and other content from within an e-mail from what I know are reputable sources (e.g. Stansberry Research and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)). When I click on the access key in the e-mail I either get a page saying I cannot access the desired content page or I get nothing. In either case my only option is to exit the attempt to access that specific content. Is this a problem with Firefox or with Verizon, my ISP? If the former, can you help resolve it?

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 or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

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