  To Whom It May Concern:
  When I add a new or try to edit an existing post it only lets me to edit in “text”” mode the visual is just blank. When I try to preview it does not do anything just opens a new page and its blank: (here is where it attempts to take me: http://essefit.com/remote-login.php?login=4fb82b50d931bf360b8754534a6fefd1&id=31214287&u=c62b51ad11f93866017364361d0046be&h). no errors nor nothing. I tried to log out thinking there is a permission issue but nope. Nothing helps. And this is happening since yesterday. Everything else works fine on my MAC just when I log in WP does not display the editing of the post content in visual mode. It is just blank.

  Hi there, could you please try clearing the cache as well as all cookies for WordPress.com in your browser? Please let me know if that does the trick. You’ll find instructions here.

  If that doesn’t help, could you try a different browser, such as Chrome or Safari and let me know if you have the same issues there? Thanks very much.

  I tried Safari and that worked. It is just weird that I used it for 2 years and then one day it just stopped working. Thank you.

  Since the problem is browser-specific, would you try turning off all Firefox browser extensions and add-ons, and restarting the browser? Here are instructions for doing that:

  http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-remove-add-ons

  If the Visual Editor returns, you can try reactivating the add-ons/extensions one-by-one to find the culprit.

  Could you also confirm whether you’ve cleared your Firefox cache and cookies? Thanks.

  Kathryn,
  Yes it is working in Firefox after I followed your steps.
  Thank you.

  Glad to hear you got it sorted. If you like, feel free to let us know the name of the extension/add-on that caused the issue – it may help others in the future.

  I only had Firefox skin add-ons that’s pretty much it. And just turned those off and cleared all the cache. All set now. Thank you.
