Photo Viewing Problems

[Ken G]

For about the last week and a half I have been unable to enlarge the attached thumbnails on this forum. I am using Firefox ver 20.0.1. I can enlarge the photos when I switch over to an older version of Internet Explorer but I do not like using it. I do not know if this is a Firefox issue or something with my computer.

FWIW, on other forums I read I can enlarge thumbnails but when checking account information on the Brownell's website the details of pending orders will not load (they do on IE). I tried disabling the pop up blocker but that has had no effect.

I'm not sure if its related but around the time this all started I managed to download some "search.nu" virus-like crap website which I have since managed to remove.

Any ideas?

I am using the exact same version of Firefox and not experiencing that issue. The first thing that comes to mind is either some issue with an add-on / plug-in that may be installed with your Firefox, or some strange popup blocking behavior that was added accidentally.

It could also be malware. You can't ever seem escape the possibility of that one, but it certainly isn't my first guess in your case based on what you said.

I'd say that giving a look at your installed add-ons to see what you have and then maybe running Firefox is safe mode to see how it behaves. This should let you see if it might be add-on related. If it works properly, then it's just a matter of figuring out the offending add-on.

You nailed it. I disabled the 3 add ons that were installed on Firefox and the thumbnails began enlarging as they should. I enabled them one at a time and found the culprit. It was some version of YouTube replayer and I have no idea how/when it was installed. It has been removed and all is well. Thanks for the help.

Glad to hear it. Also happy to hear that it was an easy fix.
