Okay, so I was at Destructoid.com's forums, and I accidentally right clicked on my mouse, and I guess my mouse gets a bit erratic and clicked off forum avatars, and now it won't display me to make comments at the pages, or add stuff to my blog. I logged out, thinking it would, help, now firefox won't display the login button. Or images on their frontpage. Videos you can see, but no pictures unless you go into the picture gallery.

Now I don't know if my mouse went and clicked a bunch of stuff off or what. But I go to other pages, and it's just fine.

Is this from updating firefox recently, or is it from something else? Maybe destructoid's site?

And another problem I have, is with Facebook. I use to be able to upload images, and create albums, but when I try to do it, it completely locks up on the upload photos section.

How can I find where that would be displayed? In my Internet tools?

well if you are unsure about them, i doubt you are using either.

anyway, look under tools -> addons, and post the output here.

also, list the plugins.

no addons?

well anyway, try creating a new profile for firefox and see if the issue remains.

type this in a terminal

firefox -ProfileManager

Yeah, that brought up a new page, but the same problem.
Should I un-install then reinstall Firefox?

well you can try that :)

So what would be the safest way of doing that? Without me totally screwing things up?

just backup your bookmarks, and other important firefox stuff and proceed with the re-install.
