For the last week or so, both at work on Windows 7 and at home on Mac OSX, on the Yahoo! pages where they have forward and back arrows to go to the next or previous picture (or cartoon, or article) in a sequence, nothing happens when you click the arrow. This began about the same time on both systems. Safari/MSIE seem to work properly.

Google sharing installed and Do Not Track Plus installed, but problem did not start with those installations. Could be caused by the never-loading graphics on the sample page (see continuous time-dials), but pages without those also fail to operate next/previous.

Hi briandiehm,

I just tried the site you posted in your ticket and it works as expected for me on Firefox 12 and OSX.

I'd try starting Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide and the Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems article as well.

If you identify what plugin is causing the issue, please report back so others can benefit from that information.

Hopefully this helps!

This is definitely a problem from the extension DoNotTrackPlus 2.1.0.327. Will report it there. Thank you, Matt!
