Solved! - Hmm, Firefox and Blogger not playing nicely

For the past few months, I'd noticed that my Blogger account wasn't functioning perfectly when I accessed it using Firefox.

This problem persisted through multiple versions of FF, including the most recent version 27.

I've let the problem go for quite a while ( using Chrome as one of my backup browsers ) but I decided to crack it today.

and boom the Blogger search bar and Sign In features started working again.

I'll tinker with the Disconnect configuration, but at least I have a circumvention.

:-)

*UPDATE*

Sorted - I merely need to tell Disconnect to whitelist rather than blacklist the Blogger site: -
