I disabled it and all is well again. I contacted the author who informed me that it works on *.nix and the problem probably lies with FreeBSD; however, he will look into it. In other words, it isn't gong to be fixed anytime soon, if at all. There is just no urgency is wasting the time to fix a problem for a small niche of users and an even smaller niche who are employing their add-on combined with an infinitesimal number of users actually trying to access a site similar to the one shown above. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.

Firefox 21 not proceeding to URL
Using Firefox 21, if I enter this URL: http://www.nclawreview.org/documents/91/1/wegner.pdf nothing happens. The PDF is not displayed nor is there any evidence that Firefox did anything at all. Now, entering the same URL using the same version of Firefox on a Windows machine, it works perfectly. No surprise there. Why is it failing on the FreeBSD machine? I posted on another forum and was told it works under Linux, so it must be a FreeBSD problem. Can anyone confirm this or have an idea what the problem is? -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
