I've looked at Add-ons although many have already been disabled by FF.
Nothing obvious there. Any suggestions?

Adblock Plus is preventing the slideshow from loading. Disable ABP on
that page, and the slideshow will load.

Staying ON the "treadmill" works just fine, Jumping OFF the addon
treadmill is the key. It's not a FF problem.

Before I wrote this message, I disabled all extensions and the slide
show still does not load. I have also discovered that Pandora does not
open. It looks like the answer is to go back to an earlier version, if
possible.

It most certainly is a FF problem. The page works using Internet
Explorer and Chrome.

Nope, the slideshows work just fine for me with Adblock Plus enabled as
of today. No ads if enabled. Ads if disabled.

<http://preview.tinyurl.com/n5bfu57>

When is the last time anyone updated their ABP lists? Mine were last
updated 05-18-2013. I think they update automatically, but it doesn't
hurt to check.

From the other replies in this thread, it looks like others can view
the slideshow using the latest version of Firefox and no add-ons
disabled. So let's figure out what's different about your setup.

We'll need some more info about your Firefox setup. Go to
Help-->Troubleshooting_Information, then click [Copy text to Clipboard].
Open a reply to this post, and go to Edit-->Paste to paste the info from
your Troubleshooting Information page.

In the mean time, if you go to
Firefox-->Help-->Restart_with_Add-ons_Disabled, does the problem still
occur? If not, the cause is probably an extension. See
<http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems>.

Sounds like you have JavaScript disabled.

Slide shows won't load, and I get this message on Pandora with
JavaScript disabled.

"In order to use Pandora internet radio, please enable your browser's
JavaScript support."

Works just fine in Safe Mode, and normal mode with JavaScript enabled.

Sure, if you don't want to--or are prepared to go the long, and sometimes
rather techy, way round to--

* block ads
* block web bugs, tracking cookies, etc.
* block LSO cookies
* block unwanted and infuriating flash ads, etc.
* download (as opposed to stream) videos from YouTube, etc.
* save sessions
* have all the stuff that used to be in the status bar located, or popping
up in, stupidly inappropriate places
* prevent Google from hiding the true address of the link you want
* etc., etc., etc.

To describe add-on-free Firefox as a Fisher-Price "My First Browser" would
be unkind to Fisher-Price.

No, I haven't heard that. :)
I've been trying to replicate your setup to reproduce the issue, but the
slideshow always loads here. Let's try something simple: clear your
cache and cookies.
