OK ! I can't have noticed them or maybe I've got a comp problem . Have they always been the same ad repeating 5 or times?

They are random from a pool of 20, and I could always charge for the site as donations for the last 6 months totalled £15, against a few hundred it costs to run.

Think I know what you mean fella. Sounds like the same thing has happened to me. Don't know if it's a Firefox thing as mine did an update in the last couple of days, but can't remember if the update came before I noticed the problem. I'm inclined to believe it did though!

Definitely looks like a Firefox thing as the ads behave in IE.

Tried clearing my cache which didn't help. Will see what Firefox did in the update that is causing the problem.

I`ve got the same thing, started yesterday.
Firefox has to close.
Theres a long list of Amazon ads.

Just tested it on Firefox :omg: It's fine on all the other browsers, so I guess the new FF has an error handling Javascript :doh

I'll see if I can rewrite the code my end, and charge FF for the work :rolleyes:

Only after I'de rewritten what is basic simple Javascript that should work in Firefox :NoNo:

Now it displays 2 ad blocks, but it'll have to do for now.
