i begin to think it is something to do with the firefow brower blocking, i have checked all settings in google, and also my firewall, here seems no issues there, can you help i have recently been updated to the latest firefox edition, regards karen

Hello Friend, i had the same issue and now i fixed it by disabling "Adblock plus" addon which was the culprit, so if you have installed the "Adblock plus" addon try disabling it and check after restarting the browser, hope it works for you as well :)
