I was able to 2 months back but not for the past 1 month. I even cleared my cookies, tried re-installing firefox, still not able to open collaborative sessions.

Blackboard isn't always compatible with the latest version of Firefox, plus the various schools using Blackboard aren't always using the latest version of Blackboard.

My advice is to use a 2nd Firefox installation - Firefox Portable - when going to a Blackboard enabled website. Firefox Portable installs completely separate from the official Firefox versions, so you won't risk corruption of data as might happen with 2 different official versions being installed together.

Firefox Portable 21.0 is available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Edition%2021.0/

All older versions of Firefox Portable are here:
