I just updated my firefox browser to firefox 5. Since then a website that i am in the process of creating, has stopped displaying banners. Instead of the advert i was expecting i get a question mark in the top left corner.

Adbock Plus is a Firefox extension, not part of Firefox, you don't have it. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/

I see two banners and they are not blocked (they are legitimate) "The High Street for your Desk Top" and "It's Time to go shopping"

I see the question mark now you refer to, in IE is see [Like] [f] 12 likes. Sign up to see what your friends like.

Which is something to do with FaceBook. Appears in IE9, Google Chrome, Safari, all show the Facebook thing. Opera fails big time nothing but a repeated large button (>) with an arrow.

Might be the CSS code. http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jems-shopping.co.uk%2F

also on their links test, a bad link

Can't look over you shoulder, you're too far away. What is the url?

Of course in order to see advertisements you would have to turn off "Adblock Plus" and other protections that people normally use to protect themselves from annoyances, and malware. You have it off now but you have "Anti-Banner" extension I expect just for that reason.

Wow that was quick. Thankyou.

The URL i am trying to view is http://www.jems-shopping.co.uk.

"Adblock Plus" - is that a Firefox tool or Kaspersky? i cannot find it in either.

Sorry, i should have done some research before posting. I now see that it is a firefox tool, i assume it is part of Firefox 5. so just need to know how to disable it.

OK. I think i'll have to work through the css. I can view the site perfectly on my laptop which has the old version of firefox, so never picked up any problems before.

Thanks for your help. I will mark this as solved for now and go to work on the site.

Thanks again.
