This is a new problem that is showing up not only in my software but many others. My software uses PayPal to process online purchases. PayPal is an secure site. When the customer returns to our site they land on a thank you page. The thank you page must receive the ipn message from PayPal to know what product download page to load for the customer so they receive the correct products, which they just purchased.

FireFox is blocking this information from the secure site to our unsecure site and causing the customers not to receive download information.

FireFox used to work well with our product delivery system but the latest update is causing all kinds of problems. To you have a fix for this inconvenience you browser is causing customers and companies who use a third party processing system?

Best regards, Steve Yakim
