Question

My Firefox is not working for the Publix online ordering feature. When I click to add my item to the cart, the wheel just spins. The message says it is transferring data, but clearly, it's not. Settings?

Community Answer

You can go to settings and enable cookies and JavaScript. Then you should be able to add anything to your cart.
Question

Would someone using an up-to-date version of FireFox advise me? When opened the recent versions of FireFox (version 47.0 is what I'm using) look different and things are not in the same place so this information is outdated and useless to people using updated versions.

Community Answer

In FireFox if you go to settings it is very easy to change what you want.
