First noticed this on the game Dawn of the Dragons. I dont use the FB site, I use the standalone. It has a button to login to FB and when FB is already logged in, it will load the game. If not, a popup box appears with login for FB. It doesnt work now for anything that uses the FB login. Like its blocked. I use Adblock plus and havent changed anything, so it doesnt seem to make sense that its the issue, but, who knows. There are several sites I use that the login is blocked for FB. Windows 8.1 fully updated everything and no other issues.

Use this link to check that your plugins are up-to-date. If any are listed as unknown or research, do not worry about them.


Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Restart Firefox. Are there any problems?

Are you using Firefox in a normal window or in a Private mode window?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

OK, none of this helps. Is the "LOGIN WITH FB" button a java tool? Could this be a java issue? Ive run in safe mode and it works fine and Ive disabled all add ons and this does not help. What a pain this is. Its gotta be a simple thing.
