Firefox Version 3.6.12 Recent update to Firefox. After which I can no longer share web pages on Facebook from Firefox AND on my Wall in FB I can only post text - no longer have the buttons to share videos, pictures, links, etc. But these all exist in my version of IE.

Chosen solution

  • "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
  • "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

All I did was clear the cache and delete all cookies with the text "facebook" in them. I don't know which one caused the problem. The instructions for clearing the cache and deleting cookies did not match my version of Firefox but I was able to figure it out. Thank you much.

You're welcome

I'm curious where you found Options if it is not in the indicated place or did you use Tools > Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox ?
