    I clicked on the Notebook Review forum bookmark with Firefox (12.0) and it comes up blank. If I copy and paste the URL into IE (9.0.8) it shows up fine.

    Any ideas?

    OK, I disabled Ad Block Plus on NBR, refreshed and it back to normal.

    You may need to give permission for the website through the NoScript add-on? Assuming you are using NoScript add-on.
    If you are not; its an interesting add-on I would suggest; that is, if you don't mind the hassle of giving all the permissions.
