Severe malfunctions in Firefox

There were similar reports of these issues on one of other sites. The user there fixed their problem by clearing all the data stored. A possible fix for the issues would be clearing your computer of ALL BikeForums data: saved logins, history, links, permissions, etc. If you do try this route, please make sure you have your login information correct. If not, there should be a fix on Monday for the quick reply.

If this was directed at what I posted, I have done all that stuff, several times. I even went so far as to uninstall, and then reinstall Firefox.
The problems I mentioned persist, and have not improved or changed for the better.
Also, even when clicking on the main Bike Forums header logo, most times nothing happens, no redirect to the main page, nothing.
No other sites / forums I frequent are having or had any issues on Firefox, Chrome, whatever.
Using BF on Chrome seems to be "normal".

I'm noticing that when I reach the end of a thread page it doesn't auto-load the next page; I have to click "next page".

I just learned a trick to post from Firefox after I've hit "Post Quick Reply" and failed. Highlight and copy the text that went nowhere. Now quote somebody. Copy in your text, Cut the quote and hit Submit Reply. If this works again for me, you will see it. If it doesn't? I'll go hide.

No worries (at least not yet). I was hoping the answer wasn't, "it's already happened", because I'm not seeing a difference.

Chrome is working for me now today too after a week or so of being borked, I can give likes and post pics as normal, so fingers crossed its sorted.

It had to do with something called rocket loader. I'm not entirely sure what that was, but tech disabled it. As for the embedded videos, it's hard for us to pinpoint why some may show and why some may not show because of all of the different privacy settings on the sites that they are embedded from

@IBkatherine
a weird new 'issue' has showed up for me.
sometimes (has happened multiple times so far since the Firefox 'fix') in the quick reply box, the main forum page shows up. i am able to scroll through the page like it was the normal main page. hope this makes sense. attached is a screenshot.

yeah, it is extremely intermittent, but it did happen again right after i posted about it. not sure how it would be 'replicate-able'.
it has happened on two different devices, both on Firefox.
i have cleared cookies/cache/logged out/logged back in on each device.
it might just be one of those rare random occurrences that would be difficult to pinpoint the source, i don't know. just wanted to point it out in case it became a bigger issue for others / in the future.
would be curious as to whether anyone else has seen this.
