I have Firefox 3.6.17 installed on my HP. OS is Vista. Have always used Igoogle as my home page. All Google gadgets worked until today. Now, the sidebar shows that the gadgets are there but they don't show. When I use IE, all of my gadgets show. When I go to my Google home page from my husband's laptop using the same version of Firefox, all of my gadgets show. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. Have tried installing Firefox 4.0. Have tried doing a system restore to yesterday when the Google gadgets loaded fine. have tried signing out, shutting down, restarting, and signing back in. I don't like IE but am not willing to use another home page just to use Firefox. Any ideas???

It works! Disabling AVAST WEBREP brought back my gadgets. How?

Open Mozilla Firefox, then go to Tools (in Menu bar), open Add-ons and you'll see AVAST WEBREP extension, just disable it.

Thanks limelect and eejenkins!
