Since the last FF update it seems I can not "Like" an internet page for Facebook. I used to be able to but now it wont allow me to "Like" a page, not Facebook's own pages. I can "Like" them all I want. It is just when I go to a different site and it has a "Like" button and I want to keep up with that page I click on the "Like" button and a blank window will come up real fast then disappear and the page still is not "Liked". I never had any problem with this until the last FF update and I can not figure out how to fix it. I have tried the security area and such but nothing seems to be working. Thanks for anyone's help.

Hello,

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.

Thank you.
