I'm having major problems accessing some sites, even ones on which I'm a registered user. In some cases when I try to enter a site I get a blank screen in others once I have entered the site and entered my log in details the screen cycles back to the log in screen.

Here are some entries from my error console showing some of the error messages I get when I try to navigate a site.

Warning: Unknown property 'text-overflow'. Declaration dropped.

Line: 1

Warning: Unknown property 'word-wrap'. Declaration dropped.

Line: 1

Warning: Selector expected. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.

Line: 212. On this site I'm a registered user but it doesn't recognise my log in details.

I have seen messages on some sites to the effect that I do not have Java script enabled but it is enabled.

I'm using Firefox V 2.0.0.1 and I have a feeling that these problems might have started when I upgraded but I can't find any mention of similar problems being reported.

I'm running AGV Anti-Virus Pro, AGV Anti-Spyware, Zone Alarm, Spyware Doctor, and Spybot and I wonder if any of these might be the cause of the problems.

I would appreciate any suggestions you might have to solve these problems because its driving me up the wall!!

Hi Paul M, I was waiting for someone who has had direct recent experience of this, to respond to you, but as no one has so far, I suggest you try to access the sites using an alternative browser, such as Internet Explorer, or one or two of the others. If you find you can, then it might be best to uninstall Firefox, download an up to date fresh copy and reinstall it. Regards paws
Hi Paul M, You're welcome. Let us know how you get on. I don't reckon you are alone with this, the uninstall and then reinstall procedure is "standard practice" so let's hope it works on your machine. Regards paws
Hi paws, That seems to have cleared things up but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. One strange thing though, in my first post I foregot to mention that I couldn't get Windows to boot in Safe Mode. I've just tried it again and it worked. I'm not complaining!! Regards, Paul
