I tired all of that and still no help. I have asked friends to try this on their Firefox and it works so not sure what is wrong with my settings. Any other suggestions?

Has anyone found a fix for this? Thanks

seemed to fix it for me, once i started up in " safe mode" so thanks i'm glad it solved it, also i removed a yt downloader i installed recently which also might have caused the problem since it was inconcurance in time the problem started, i got an 10.5.8 and the ad on might have been banging things up.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.
