I'm a college student who uses BlackBoard for assignments. Since I did the last update, I can no longer use it. The modules all say to wait while it loads. The support person said there is a problem with Firefox and Blackboard and to use another browser. Chrome worked, but I don't like Chrome. I want my Firefox! Is there anyway for a technically challenged person to get Blackboard to work on Firefox again?
