Radio buttons don't work on some sites, started recently

Two travel sites I use regularly have radio buttons for various functions while searching trips. Just recently the buttons to "see details" and other options don't work while in the sites. I can go to the sites using IE and they work just fine.

I have checked all my options and don't see anything that might cause this problem.

It is possible that security software (anti-virus, firewall) is causing the problem. Try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen or hold down the Shift key) to see if that has effect.

I couldn't temporarily disable the security software so I had to uninstall it.

Re-booting in safe mode w/network support, using f-8 key had no effect when I went back to the site

I went through FredMcD's procedure and did as instructed all the way to the about:preferences#advanced, in the general section Use Hardware Acceleration was already off. Back at the website the buttons still did not function

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?

Is that radio element selected if you check that in the built-in Inspector via the right-click context menu (Inspect Element)?
