With the latest FF update I can't load the New York Times
I updated FF and Flash Player today and now I can't load the New York Times - all I get is a page with links. Other sites are loading OK. I've tried changing the security.mixed_content.block_active_content to false and that didn't help.
I've got FF 36:0 and I use Windows. Does anybody know whether this is a FF problem and if there's a solution?
I don't think it's my plug-ins because other sites load easily but these are the ones I've got:
- Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.13
- Citrix Online App Detector Plugin
- Version 5.40.2.0
- Google Update
- Musicnotes Viewer plugin 1.21.0 For more information visit www.musicnotes.com
- The QuickTime Plugin allows you to view a wide variety of multimedia content in Web pages. For more information, visit the QuickTime Web site.
- Shockwave Flash 17.0 r0
- Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.0.3.133
- 5.1.30514.0
- VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.3
- NPWLPG
- iTunes Detector Plug-in

The screenshot is attached.
I think the browser cache is corrupt. You can goto options->advanced->network, and clear cache then try again.
I'm afraid that didn't work.
mm... I am gonna throw out a quick suggestion, if not working, please post back and see if others can help.
Try holding down "shift" key, and click refresh button on the urlbar.
It didn't solve the problem, but thanks for trying.
Can anybody else help?
