This game I play online, http://www.royalgames.com/games/strategy-games/abracadabra/?language=en has just started to not work correctly. After playing the game and getting my score it then goes to the leader board and shows my position against the other 3 players but my score is always zero and puts me in last place even though I did receive a high score. I might also add it is only this game and the tech support cannot find a problem. I also had a problem with http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html not showing the amount of people that have voted on the comments that people make on stories it again was always zero. Now back to the game I installed Chrome and played it no problem worked as it always has, BUT I don't like Chrome, so it seems to be only a Firefox problem. It did work fine until the last 2 or 3 Firefox updates. Any ideas. Running Win 7 Firefox 44.0.2. Flash player 20 NPAPI Java 8 Update 73 First screenshot is the progressive score...Second screenshot is the leader board and score.

Thanks FredMcD for your reply but it works for one game then reverts back to how it was with the fault. I tried everything you put in your reply.
