It seems a malware blocks the comments in some pages that use the facebook comments plugin. This malware infects Firefox and Chrome and is addressed to block interactions in some social networks. ¿Any suggestions to restore Firefox to his normal behavior? ¿Any suggestions to diagnose the problem in the way Firefox manage social plugins? Thanks.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.


Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
