The main page of shockwave loads ok, but thereafter I cannot access any other page. I just get the following error message: Bad Request

You might just want to clear your shockwave.com cookies and see whether that helps. This will log you out.

While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

Use the Remove button to remove each cookie. Then close the dialog and reload the site. Does it help?

Thanks for answering! Have tried everything - still no good. Am going to uninstall Firefox altogether. I've always liked Firefox, but I have had a number of problems with it - usually immediately after an update - so will use Chrome for a while which I have to say is considerably quicker :( Maybe will come back to Firefox later......

Thanks! Tried that - and STILL it won't connect properly. So have thrown in the towel and am using Chrome until my temper improves enough to try again! :)
