In the last three-ish days, I've been noticing that my Tumblr dashboard:

a] won't load past a few pages (I use infinite scrolling)

b] won't expand any images when I click on them

c] won't let me edit posts, period

All of these are not an issue in Chrome. Anyone know any fixes?

Looks normal to me (I didn't try to post, though).

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

1. Bypass Firefox's Cache

Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Any difference? If not...

2. Clear Firefox's Cache Completely

orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Advanced

On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"

3. If needed, remove the site's cookies in this dialog

While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Speaking of cookies, how do you manage cookies? In particular, do you have Keep until "they expire", "I close Firefox" or "ask me every time" under:

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Privacy

Hi -- thanks for your reply. Firstly -- none of these fixed the problem (although they now count in my arsenal of "what to try when crap goes wrong").

Secondly...I've realized it wasn't a Firefox issue at all (well, not really). It was a Greasemonkey script I was running (that I haven't even been using!) for Tumblr that was causing literally ALL of these issues. It didn't show on Chrome because I don't use Chrome ever and so I don't have any scripts installed.

Thanks so much for your reply anyway! (And sorry for wasting all this time.)
