Google Maps No Longer Works in Firefox?
I am using FF 38.0.5 and just went to Google Maps and got this error message:
"Your browser needs to be updated to use Google Maps"
I'm not blocking any functionality of Google Maps, so why am I getting this error message?

Hmm, it's quite different on Windows. Hopefully a Mac user can advise on whether that combination should work on Google Maps.
Meanwhile, some general advice:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
See the steps in this article: How to clear the Firefox cache
Note: If you have a large hard drive, that process might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page somewhere on google.com, try either:
- right-click/Ctrl+click the page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
- click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Is this on the "main" page here: https://www.google.com/maps
Google uses a variety of graphical technologies that sometimes require updated graphics card driver software. We have a general article on that here: Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL.
To see whether Firefox is disabling WebGL or some other technologies that might be relevant, could you check the support information page? You can open that using any of these:
- "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
- (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
- type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter/Return
If you scroll down, you should find a table with the header "Graphics" above it. If you could select and copy that entire section of the page and then paste it into a reply, we might get a better idea of what's going on.
