  yesterday i lost the ability to play the game in full screen because when in full screen the curser (arrow) will move about the screen but will not control any of the functions on screen.  if i shrink the screen it becomes interactive again.  i am using firefox. anyone else experienceing this ?

  Yes, I have a similar issue and started a similar thread shortly after you posted this apparently.  I reported it to customer support and was told it is a known problem they are working on.  Their suggestion was to play in the "small box" or try another browser until they come up with a fix.

  Same problem here. Had the same thing happen awhile back, then it seemed to fix itself. Two solutions I've found. One is use a different browser. In my case I can use Chrome if I desire. The other is to use the screen maximizer on the game itself. Ironically I've found I seem to ding more when I do that.

  The recent firefox update is the problem.  Roll back, or try a different browser.  Maxthon 4,9 works well for me.  Do a search as a version of Pale Moon was recommended and it also is very smooth.

  thanks for the the input guys.  i have tried Explorer and it is working normally. strangely, i have also used firefox and it has worked normally in full screen for a few games, then if i shrink the window to go look at email, ebay etc. and come back it no longer works in full screen. am not knowledgeable about how computers work at all, but seems really odd that the size of the display would have any reason to affect functionality. weird. guess i am stuck with Explorer for now.

  Use the search box as there are threads about many good browsers, including a recent one about Pale Moon, which is very smooth.  I've used Maxthon 4,9 (Cloud) and its worked very well also since I loaded it. about 1 year ago.
