Computer Geeks, Help!

I use Firefox as my internet surfing program. For some odd reason, my curser goes blank in the sign in bar along with all the other controls on that line. In order to sign in I have to reply to post and then the sign in box appears. I can sign in there. Just on this computer. The other computer and phone work just fine. I cannot access any of the items in the sign in line or bar. Not even after signing in through the back door as stated above. The line below works fine where the search box is, albums. links, whats new, etc. Internet explorer works as normal, but I don't use it much if I have a choice.Thanks!

What OS are you using?Is Java up to date?Is your Firefox up to date? FireFox 19.0.2 works fine...Any firefox plugins?

Windows XP home addition, Firefox up to date. Not sure about java. Don't recall any java prompts. There's been XP updates as of just a couple days ago. Running zone alarm as my security program. Update it regularly. Not sure about plug ins. Don't care about any of that yahoo stuff, etc. Might try to remove plugins.

Firefox has a bunch of plugins like Noscript, Click and Clean, etc. They are all helpful but at time can create issues to so check your plugins on Firefox make sure something isn't blocking site. I know there is a few areas that use Java to create effects or do basic options.

OK, since everything worked in Windows Internet explorer I decided to go into the help screen on Firefox. It took me through the process of starting Firefox in safe mode and things worked properly. So there was a procedure of shutting off plug ins and extensions, restarting Firefox after each change in standard mode. Anyway, it all works now. Funny thing is that it was only a couple of my regular forums where it was a problem. But all fixed now.Thanks!!!
