Mozilla 1.5.0.1. problem with MSE

I am having to use IE to post here as my Mozilla isn't displaying all the MSE features (thanks-quote buttons. Post new Thread button and lots of the links from the Chat page.) nor even the picture of Martin.

All these features are present on IE so it's clearly something to do with my Mozilla set up. As no one else has mentioned this problem it must be my OLD PC as I can't use my New PC as it doesn't have a dialup modem and as people may know I can't use broadband as I'm still (despite many and frequent requests to cease) trapped in the E7 nightmare.

I have cleared my Mozilla cache and Cleanedup the hard disk but it has made no difference. Any ideas as I prefer tabbed browsing especially on dialup as I can have lots of pages opening in the background.

    Maybe try reinstalling or go back to an earlier version.

    Also just give https://www.ccleaner.com a whirl for a really good clean
    and then check any settings on Fire Fox just to make sure you
    havent stopped recieving graphics.

    Also I wouls give IE a reset jus to make sure thats not the problem.

    Open IE, Tools, Internet Options, Programs Tab, Reset Web Settings
    remove tick from reset my homepage then Yes and OK close IE
    and Firefox then Re-open.

    If you need a modem for your PC try https://www.freecycle.org for a free one.

    I'm using Firefox and I'm not having any problems with MSE...
  • I've given the crapcleaner a run and all that's changed is that now all the MSE pages with open/closable frames open with the all the frames open and no way to post a new reply or change any of the settings. So changes only for the worse there.

    On the IT front despite running the CCLEANER Martin is still wearing his St Patricks day attire so as I suspect he should have taken his hat off by now I think I need to continue with the clean up campaign.

    That is the current logo not a cache issue.

    Do you have the Firefox download cached?

    Probably quicker just to do a re-install.

    Well that's one thing less to worry about.

    Removed current FIREFOX and downloaded a new version which I have now installed but the problem remains.

    Since IE is working fine it should not be any security software that's blocking the missing images but do you have any of these anyway?

    Was Firefox installed on the OLD PC previously or just this morning?

    Just to check, is the tabbed browser functionality not working at all?
