https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-older-version-of-firefox?cache=no Be sure to read everything here.

If you still want to downgrade, look under; I still want to downgrade. Click the Directory of other versions and languages link. Look for the directory of the version that you want. But, remember that old versions may have security issues.

I have no problem viewing that site.

I mentioned JavaScript, which is not the same as Java.
See :   How is JavaScript different from Java  ?

Dear Happy 112,

Apparently FredMcD is suggesting I should downgrade to an earlier version of Firefox. That is something that I do not want to do. I would switch to Edge as my default browser before I do that. You said you have no problem viewing FNC live. Would that be with FF53? If so perhaps you could help me to get my FF53 working with FNC. Could you tell me more about how to find this JavaScript that you referred to. How can I determine if it is enabled on my FF53?

I have no idea why this post will not wrap.

The post doesn't wrap because of the leading spaces. A leading space means that you get PRE tags and this forum doesn't wrap text in PRE tags (I have a custom style rule to fix this).

I will edit your above post and remove the spaces.

JavaScript should be enabled by default.   You can check and see if this is the case : Type in the address bar   about:config (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preference : javascript.enabled and make sure that it's value is set to   true

FredMcD is not suggesting that you should downgrade;   he merely explained what to do in case you should   want to   downgrade.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button# or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content. There is security software that can interfere with loading content, so check that as well.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button# or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

• switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button# or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
• do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

Dear   loyall,
You already mentioned that you don't use any ad-blocking extensions and that you enabled cookies for that site. Now, let's assume that JavaScript is enabled.
Looking at your screenshot, it says : 'For video troubleshooting and help click here ' What happens when you do that   ?

Totally forgot to ask : Would you check and see if your Shockwave Flash is up to date  ? Should be : 25.0.r0 And also your Flash Player  ? Should be : 25.0.0.148

In case everything else should fail :
You could try   Help Center - Fox News .......

Flash Player is Shockwave Flash. Most of us just call it Flash.

Flash Player Version: 25.0.0.148

I mentioned Shockwave Flash and Flash Player for a reason. See :     https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/flash-player-vs-shockwave-player-difference.328165/

Hmmm . . . . .

javascript.enabled is set to true There are thirty-nine other javascript entries (I counted them) that are set to true and false and specific numbers.

OK. but why did he think I would want to? Don't bother to answer. Let's get on with solving my problem.

You can check it yourself, but it basically provides a number of FAQ's. I spent some time there reading the FAQ's before I posted on this forum. Since my problem does not happen in Edge or Internet Explorer, but only in Firefox starting with version 52, I am certain it is a Firefox problem.

You pointed out that
