MSE forum disappeared off firefox?

Mrs_Bones

I normal use firefox for the internet but last night it stopped working for the MSE forum, does anyone know why? every other site I go on seems to be ok and I can get on the general MSE site just not the forum on firefox. Yet I'm now on internet explorer and the MSE forum is opening as normal, very strange.

This is the message that keeps coming up when I try to open the forum on firefox.

Working fine on firefox for me Mrs Bones.
Have you tried clearing any cookies, the cache etc to see if that makes any difference?

Click the "Tools" menu and then "Clear Recent History".

Select what items you want to clear, and for what period.



The click "Clear Now".

Then it would usually be best to close down the browser and open it again.

Clear cache its in tools options and privacy or get ccleaner

Thank you everyone, it seems to be sorted now

It's a little known vBulletin design flaw. Fermi provided exactly the correct solution.
