Escapist not working on firefox?

[sniddy_v1legacy]

pretty sure it's the ad-blocker only causing an issue which may be coincidence or a purposeful decision

I am too - any ideas anyone as I hate using IE

Use Opera.

No problems here, but I often have problems with loading speed using Firefox. Opera loads the sites in a second so it's not my connection.

*Opens Firefox. Checks Escapist. Finds nothing wrong. Goes back to Chrome.*

No problems to report on Firefox without any add-ons.

I'm on Firefox. and posting right now.

I had problems yesterday, but since Comcast was out in my neighbourhood 3/4s of the day, I'm betting that was more my ISP still having a fit. Otherwise, I've not noticed any new problems. There's my usual problem of the site being slow and loading improperly, but that's nothing new and sometimes happens on other browsers too.

Firefox, no modifications or add-ons, runs perfectly..
So yeah, probably something wrong in your firefox-installation.

Hi all -
I had exactly this problem - I found it was actually due to Adblock Plus. (Try disabling the plugin and you'll probably find the problem is fixed.)

To get around this, add an exception to your Adblock Plus Filter like so:
1. Firefox --> Add-ons
2. With the Extensions tab selected, click 'Options' next to Adblock Plus
3. Click 'Filter Preferences...'
4. Under the 'Custom Filters' tab, add the following rule to your exceptions rule:
@@|http://www.escapistmagazine.com
5. Save changes, restart Firefox, and you should find you're up and running.

Hope this works!

Thanks! This solved the problem for me.
