For the last week or so I cannot get ‘story’ view to work on articles in FIrefox. When I hit the button or enter on my KB it just transitions to a white screen. It works fine on Chrome.
Is anyone else having this issue? I’m running Win7 x64 w/ Firefox 23.0 (was happening on 22.0 as well)
Thanks.

This is due to ‘mixed mode’ blocking that was introduced in Firefox 23:

The blog entry shows how to disable the block for a site (such as Newsblur). You should see a shield icon to the left of the navigation bar; click this to disable.
Perfect. Thanks for the quick reply!
No problem James.
Unfortunately, this has to be done every time NewBlur is opened or refreshed.
The block can be completely disabled in about:config but it’s not recommended for safety purposes.
That is annoying. Unfortunately there’s little I can do, as I’m loading images that sites provide me. I could provide a proxy, but that’s a ton of work. Maybe I’ll look into Cloudfront.
By the way, I’m working with the Firefox folks in trying to make this have better messaging. Follow along on Mozilla’s Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug…
