SOLVED - Problem with Firefox

[Maurice]

On an increasing number of websites I visit with Firefox the dialogue boxes are blank. There is no facility for entering details -- name, email address and such, the box is missing these. Boxes requiring a tick are also missing.

This does not happen with Konqueror, Seamonkey and Opera. All their dialogue boxes work as they should.

My kernel is not the latest -- 2.6.22.15 -- but is serving me well enough. Could that be the cause of the problem?

Thanks for any help
Maurice

Hi Maurice

Would your problem be similar to this?

Andy

EDIT: Links to the sites that gives you hassle would help to diagnose the problem. Also some specs / info about which PCLinuxOS version do you use. I am not the sharpest tool in the drawer but if I can ask enough questions You may give me the answer that will help someone else to diagnose and help you solve your problem.

Yes fully updated.

Not unlike that problem but not the same.

Sites that gave me trouble in the last few days - My online bank -- ubank.com.au -- but this would not help as you cannot login.

Another site today was a horse racing spam or optin site -- www.bfmiracle.com. I get a number of these as racing is a bit of a hobby and I like to respond to some of them.  This one is casing that trouble right now.

Can't recall others offhand. Some are unimportant but to visit my bank I have to use another browser and that is a pain as my other browsers don't have all my bookmarks etc and importing is a hit and miss thing.

I use Minime  2009 with kde4.3.2 fully updated.

Have you tried disabling Adblock, as I know this program can cause all sorts of problems and has done for me in the past.

My word - that did it. What a simple fix. Many thanks Sleepy. Also AndrzejL

Now I'll have to look for something to replace Adblock.
