Why isn't a widget working in Firefox?
I am working on a website and have embedded code for two widgets to appear on the home page. The widgets appear in Internet Explorer and in Google Chrome but they don't appear in Firefox? Can you tell me why?

Can you post a link to that website or post the code that you use for the widgets?
You can try to use the built-in Web Console and Inspector to check for errors.
I looked on Twitter pages for ages trying to find out why my widget isnt working on my website. I then noticed that it works fine in IE and Chrome.
I think it is important to note that the Twitter example widgets on the Twitter help pages do not work in FF either. This tells me that it is nothing to do with anything I am doing when adding the code to my pages.
My website is http://www.josephinesflowers.co.uk and the Twitter feed is on the left under the navigation links. All you will see is a text link - not the working widget.
The Twitter widget instructions page is https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-timelines and you will see that the text link (which displays when the widget doesnt work) appears on the Twitter pages as well.
I imagine they have entered their own code correctly ;)
I forgot to add that it does work locally... it is most peculiar!
They do appear and work for me if you mean these two links:

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
Thank you for your swift reply but possibly you have not read my comment correctly.
I am not referring to those links whatsoever. I refer to the Twitter Widget... not a link to Twitter.
It is supposed to appear underneath the navigation links on the left of the site. I have uploaded 2 images for the sake of clarity. One is when viewing the site locally and one is when viewed online.
I also ask you to look at the twitter developers page link in my initial reply, where none of their examples of widgets, displays any working widgets, yet all work fine when viewed in IE or GC.
Thank you for your time :)

I use the default theme.
I have no extensions blocking anything.
I can see the widget working locally.
Are you seeing the widget working in the page?
Are you seeing any widgets working on the twitter page link I sent you?

Yes, the widget is showing for me.
Hmmm ... this is perplexing... well I guess as long as you and others are seeing it I will stop being concerned that i cant.
Fact that I can see it locally completely baffles me though...
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Had the same problem. Avast add-on was the reason why. After disable Avast add-on, Twitter widget showed properly again.
