Whenever I try to do a mission or deploy a portal/crate/mine/lightpost, nothing happens. The missions first page will load but won't give any next mission dialog, and nothing happens when I try to deploy stuff.

Running Firefox 3.0.1 on Vista x64

Usual questions - what add-ons do you have for Firefox?
Have you tried going back a page (in a mission) and clicking the link again?

You need to enable third party cookies.

Open up Firefox, go to Preferences > Privacy > and there will be an enable Third Party Cookies check box. Check it, and restart Firefox. All should be well.

If that doesn't help, we'll need what spikeyboy requested a list of all your Firefox add-ons.

Thanks, for the assist, spikeyboy!

Try disabling CookieSafe... there are third party cookies we use (from google, etc.) that need to get through in order for you to use tools.

Sadly, I think this is a case of your extensions having disabled some functionality of your browser. It happens from time to time, where disabling an extension doesn't actually revert its saved preferences.

You can follow the instructions I have written up here: http://pmog.com/help/ffprofile , if you'd like to create a new Firefox profile to play PMOG with. Or, if you can wait a little bit, our next release of PMOG will use XUL and these issues shouldn't be present (we hope).

Sorry for the trouble!

@ace, If you don't want to create a new FF profile you can try this, remove all your add-ons, uninstall/reinstall FF then add in extensions one at a time to check for the troublemakers. I have done this a couple times and it usually works.

burdensday, you don't have to download a plugin to switch profiles. All you need to do is to start firefox with "-S"

And I think I'm waiting for the next version, maybe I'll reinstall later too

Thanks, ace13 - it's a little different on a Mac, at least I think, so I've had to about the route I wrote up there.

If it isn't too much to revive a relatively old topic, I just wanted to add that I've some what of a similar problem.

My browser crashed when I was on these missions
http://pmog.com/missions/writing...
http://pmog.com/missions/dimensi...
Now the first text boxes aren't appearing (also, can't deploy things, etc). I tried out another mission, and that worked, so it may have to do with my account on PMOG, those two missions, and mozilla crashing. I'm using the portable version, btw. That be all.

Interesting, atravul... I'll look at what's different about these missions later today.

It's likely a script on the page that PMOG tries its best to send through the toolbar, when it should, in fact, just ignore it, which causes the toolbar to lock up and show the red box of doom.

Actually, not the red box of doom. It says the page hasn't loaded and that I should reload it. Hope this info helps.
