Cynthia Hostad asks:
I can get access to my account but once IN my account I can’t seem to actually DO anything. The page that is there says edit or post, but when I try “save changes” or “send”, it just sits there.
This ONLY happens on my personal computer. When I used my brother’s, I had full use of the site. I have obviously done something on my own computer, but what?
I have a blocksite add-on in Mozilla Firefox, but Facebook is not on it. Yes, I have an antivirus, antispyware which works automatically and also full scans every night.

September 11, 2012may be your processor is too slow and you may be running too many programs at a time . try terminating process other then the running browser.
or you may re install the browser (stable version) if you are using a beta version of firefox as it may cause this problem due to bugs.
or may be you have very less ram and your secondary storage is full !!!

September 11, 2012It could be several things, but without more detail is hard to pin point the exact problem. Ideas: Have you tried by clearing the cache of the browser and reloading the FB page again ? Have you tried a different browser ? Have you updated your browser ? Have you tried uninstalling some of the addons for your browser ?

September 11, 2012Does the same problem happen if you use a different browser? I see you’re using Firefox; have you tried IE or Chrome? If Facebook works with those browsers then the problem is probably in Firefox and we have a place to begin from.
it works in Explorer so must be a firefox problem
September 11, 2012you should probably upgrade to the latest version or firefox and if u have the latest version of firefox. check what addons you are using
September 12, 2012My only add-on is freecorder and blocksite I have the latest firefox. I did clean my browser. Updated my Java and flash but I can only make comments – message if I use Explorer.
September 12, 2012Real hassle to have both open as I prefer Firefox.
Thanks for all the help
Ok i would advise you to uninstall fire fox but do a complete uninstall, not from the control panel but using a specialized program like Total Uninstall or one of its alternatives (http://alternativeto.net/software/total-uninstall/) then re-download the latest version and re-install try it and let me know if it works.

September 11, 2012You should also make sure your java and flash are up to date. If they are old or outdated, that could also cause many problems on modern sites like Facebook.

September 11, 2012check to access the face book after stoping your anti viruse aor anti spam you use i think it will work and this mean you need to change some settings of these programs

September 12, 2012Firstly,update Firefox,then disable all the extensions and plugins.Load Facebook and enable each extension one by one to see which on is blocking it.

September 12, 2012Check if the problem remains if you use any other browser on your PC. if the problem is solved try re installing your original browser, if problem still exists, refresh filewall settings.

October 4, 2012I can use facebook on Firefox at my friends house but not mine. (I did nothing except turn on the laptop and load facebook) So it seems it must be some block on my internet provider. Yet my brother who uses the same internet in the house though different computer (IBM) does not have the same problem.
I have done the different things mentioned (It works on Internet Explorer – but I prefer Firefox)
What I don’t know how to do is check my provider blocking into my laptop.
any help would be appreciated
Is your brother using Firefox with blocksite?
November 16, 2012Is your friend using Firefox with blocksite?
Did you have this problem before installing blocksite?
If the answer is “NO” then the problem is blocksite add-on. Disable it or uninstall it and try to find another add-on that does the same job.
