I use firefox 24 and it was working fine up until last weekend then I could no longer see the edit button on my wordpress site.

The thing is that I can get into my site via the site-wp-admin url as cookies allow me to do so but once I click on visit site then I cannot do anything because there are no edit buttons and not a log in button either so I do not even have the option of trying and failing or succeeding.

It is quite puzzling as it happened just recently.

I now have to use chrome to do all my editing since there is no problems on that browser

If you connect to your admin pages using a secure connection (HTTPS url), check in the address bar for a "shield" notification icon. This article describes what that's about if you find one: Mixed content blocking in Firefox

Let me start with the general advise...

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache

Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.

Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced

On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"

If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.

(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:

  • right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
