OT Latest Firefox incompatible with Amazon?
Windows PC.
Amazon is malfunctioning while using Firefox 17. There is no "add to cart" and other buttons. Amazon works fine in Internet Explorer, but I'd rather not. Anybody else using Firefox 17 in Windows having trouble with Amazon? Thanks. |

I just upgraded to Firefox 17.0.1 and don't see any problems with Amazon, I see the Add to Cart button, but during the update process it did say that Adobe PDF reader plug in had to be disabled. However, checking it just now shows it does in fact work OK. RL |

However, checking it just now shows it does in fact work OK. RL "Add to Cart" could be Javascript. You could try unticking, saving, reticking, saving, and see if Firefox will load the Javascript. Depending on what silly features Firefox has in terms of "protecting" the user, it could be that somehow Amazon has been marked as untrustworthy or something. Another possibility is that the behavior could change, whether a user logs into Amazon before shopping. Perhaps the browser ends up using https links rather than http. And to negotiate an https session might require certificates and then the information in the certificate store would matter. In the past, users have been asked to zorch entries in their certificate store, for security reasons. Perhaps a past "repair" of such, got carried forward. So https would add its own set of issues, if it happens to be used in the current case. When debugging, you check a browser for any "error consoles" it's got, as well as looking at View : Source, to understand what kind of code is in the web page. A packet sniffer helps a tiny bit, with http, but would be relatively useless for https debugging (as then, the session is encrypted). Your AddOn collection could have something to do with it as well. Like maybe NoScript or whatever. The fun never ends. Paul |

All the buttons and boxes are there for me. At least among the top 5 browsers used, that shouldn't be surprising. I'd also think there would be a better focus of what the issues are from those complaining. As to whether its standing more of late has dropped, and what specifics or validity apply to the issues -- always just great bring them to attention from a perspective of running a 6- yr-old version of program without the experience to give a clearer perspective. Piecemeal for guts in the depths of the rumor gist biz. No I don't have problems either with a FireFox derivative and Amazon, but that's Pale Moon - based on the FireFox engine, much newer and running out of a standalone configuration with no installation or very little else involved. Works great for such as BestBuy, WalMart. . .things oriented on the heavier side of scripting and a multimedia approach. Just doesn't get near as heavy use, as I first tend to drop sites I can't for various reasons see - a bother when skimming along on auto-cruise to hotkey and cross copy URLs into another browser environ. |

I backed up the profile, uninstalled Firefox 17.0.1, restarted,
installed Firefox 17.0.1, started Firefox, and there on the bright white window was the Amazon "add to cart" button where it should be. Then I replaced the profile with a backup copy and the "add to cart" button is no longer there. It's not the fact that I use a dark background, because even then that button would show up as a changed mouse cursor when hovering. Obviously it's a setting/data problem, somewhere. My job, find it. -- Thanks to the replies. |

"Add to Cart" could be Javascript. I looked around. Tried reinstalling Firefox. Also reinstalled Java. Apparently it was a too-inclusive Adblock filter. I was trying too hard to get rid of the bright white Amazon advertisement windows. |
