N/A - Site problem with Firefox - Richard M

Just recently I am unable to get any of the headings across the top of the page to work. For example if I click on "Forum" nothing happens. However on the rest of the page I can click on headings OK. If I use IE then everything works OK. Has something been changed either on the site or with the latest Firefox 50. Hope someone can help with this.

So its not just me then, i have exactly the same problem, started a couple of days ago with the log on message being reluctant to disappear after logging on.

Haven't tried IE nor anything else, this is the only site with issues at the present time..

N/A - Site problem with Firefox - focussed

Yes-and me with Chrome on Windoze 8.1.

Can't log in by clicking on the "enter the back room" tab since couple of days ago-it doesn't respond.

I have to right-click on the "enter back room" tab and open link in new tab and then open that new tab.

Looks like it is an adblocker issue. If I turn it off everything works OK on Firefox. Not sure why it only blocks the top headings and not others further down the page. Whether this is intentional or not I don't know. Either way i hope it is sorted soon.

I'm getting quite used to it now, instead of clicking the FORUM icon to go another section of forum i now just right click then click open link in new window, delete the present window and carry on as normal, only takes about 2 seconds longer than usual method.

I have AdBlock (and Ghostery) on an XP desktop and Windows 7 laptop, no problems with the site using Chrome browser.

N/A - Site problem with Firefox - Engineer Andy

I had a lot of problems recently with Firefox after changing from Adblock Plus to another, 'less obtrusive' app, and had to change back. I also upgraded to use the 64bit version of Firefox - no problems since, at least wrt viewing websites such as this (a certain 'rival' motoring [guide] website still has issues [with AdBP] whereby the banner ad area now won't move upon scrolling and reduces the viewing area by half, fortunately not the case on HJ).

Altered nothing on my own Firefox set up, but see the site is now back to running ok.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
