Can't like people's posts

I can’t like anyone’s post
I hit the like button and a pop up window comes up and nothing happens. Help.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you referring to the WordPress like button, or the Facebook like button? The WordPress one generally doesn’t generate a pop-up window.
Try clearing your browser cache and cookies and resetting your modem/router and see if the problem persists.

I’m using a laptop. Windows based
Firefox 30
This is the address of the pop-up window that comes up when I hit the like button:

You are not alone with this issue – I have been unable to like posts by visiting a WordPress site for over a year now – The only method used is within the reader – My gut feeling it could be a third-party cookie issue or setting WordPress as a trusted site within your browser but that seems just to simple so I could be wrong – Personally I just find ways around these little problems –

We need to verify whether or not you are referring to blogs hosted by WordPress.COM that you cannot use the like button on, or if you are referring to WordPress.ORG software installs, which are not a part of the WordPress.COM blogging community.
Post URLs please.
