I'm using Windows 7 on a Gateway FX6840 computer, and using Firefox3.6.12 I'm trying to download some files from a friend using a website called 4shared.com which I've used before on my previous computer. There are several hundred files on this site, so there are two pages to download from. I can't click on the page 2 tab to get to page 2, but using Internet Explorer I can. There must be some setting on Firefox that I can click on which will enable me to click on the page 2 tab since I can do it on IE as well as my old computer running Firefox 3.6.10. Unfortunately I can't give you the exact site I'm using since it is my friend's password protected account. What settings do you think I need?

Hello guys. I also had this problem, I couldn't open 4shared links with firefox while it was ok with other browsers. The problem is with the cookies, it's very simple to solve: Try to open www.4shared.com (you probably will fail); On the toolbar click on: TOOLS\ PAGE INFO\ SECURITY\ VIEW COOKIES\ Than you will highlight all 4shared links and click on REMOVE COOKIES. You're done!!! close it

Now try to open the 4shared link you wish.
