When a page on a website has a form that asks for e.g., name & email address, in Firefox I get a spinning circle as if waiting to load and never does. When going to the same page in Google or Maxthon, the form that requests the same info opens straight away. How can I fix this or can it be fixed?

Please provide public link(s) (no password) that we can check out. No Personal Information Please !


Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


One issue that seems more common lately is Firefox's Tracking Protection feature. When it is blocking content in a page, a shield icon will appear at the left end of the address bar next to the padlock icon. This article has more info on managing this feature: Tracking Protection {web link}

No, didn't work but at least I now know I can use another browser which does work if I have to so not too much of a problem. Thank you for your help anyway.
