Some things are not working on some websites lately and I have to go to Internet Explorer or Edge to be able to do what I cant on Firefox.

This website is a good example https://www.colorit.com/blogs/news/may-2018-giveaway (Firefox website) there is a contest going on and I should be able to do each item on the checklist to get points but it doesnt have the items available to click on or show the points. I had to go to Internet Explorer to do them.

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}
