when I am @ clarionledger.com, I can not scroll through galleries, or advance to the next page of a news story. The buttons are there to click on, but it does not advance to the next page, or image.

So how do I fix this ?

Thanks in advance

You could click the ABP button in the top right and click "disable for this page" or temporarily disable it so you can click whatever it is you're going for.

it's a "the Clarion Ledger has stupid #%+$#%# web programmers" problem. Just bad, lazy work. Several of the areas on the site just don't work with Firefox. Your only real option is to open it in IE. IE Tab for Firefox might work as well but I haven't tried it.

Click the dropdown button on the adblock icont at the to right. Select "disable on clarionledger.com".

Guess the CL has some clever programming so the image related javascript doesn't load unless all the ads load first.

I've just resolved that I won't review photos on the CL site. I figure those CL MFers are trying to force feed **** they're peddling by the way they set up the site. Fine. I don't need to see your photos, CL. I'll get the info or similar images elsewhere.

disabled it for clarionledger.com, & everything works, but sure enough the "netflix" ads, & the "Regions" adds are right back.........basically the main reason I switched to firefox / adblock+

I swear that people that run newspapers have to be the most simple minded idiots that ever existed

Resolution is small and jpg compression is very high. Their images are easily the worst quality images I see on a regular basis.
