When I try to post a lighthouse directly on a webpage by clicking my little lighthouse icon on my toolbar, the "Post a Lighthouse" window pops up, allows me to enter my URL and any tags, and then refuses to respond to anything I click on. It won't let me X out or submit the lighthouse. To get rid of the window I have to refresh the page. This is ditto for portals, although the popup portal alerts on my screen when I arrive at a page with a portal likewise won't respond to any clicking. Oddly, crates work, both to loot and lay. Perhaps relatedly and perhaps not, instant messages don't work for me either. I can't send them and I don't believe I can respond - I receive them from people periodically, but when I type a response and hit Enter the page I'm on refreshes and the IM disappears. Neither of these things are a huge deal, but they're pretty annoying. How can I fix them?

FYI:
I'm running Firefox 2 and am, to my knowledge, current in my updates. My add-ons are Adblock Plus, Forecastfox, the Download Statusbar, FoxyTunes, and Stealther, although I never turn it on. My OS is Windows Vista (don't hate, the computer was free!)

Thanks

@dimerization:

It's one of two things.

Either one of those extensions you have installed is causing the issue, or you're missing a java plugin.

I'd start by checking your Java, which you can do here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/...

Then, I'd disable one add-on at a time, restarting Firefox each time, to see which will finally let you set portals.

Sorry for the difficulty!

@dimerization, For IMs, try pressing the send button instead of enter. I have the same problem.

Not that this helps in anyway, But I too noticed that hitting enter instead of hitting the send message button causes the IM to disappear, Message not sent...
