iFrame Does Not Work in Firefox
Firefox is an Internet browser that allows you to view and interact with content and websites online. Firefox does support special HTML tag, such as the iframe tags, which is part of the HTML website coding language. However, if you are having issues viewing an iframe with Firefox, you can troubleshoot the iframe coding and Firefox to fix the viewing issue.

About iframe
-
An iframe is an HTML coding tag used in developing designs for websites on the Internet. The iframe allows a Web designer to place content, such as a script, banner or another website, within a smaller frame. This allows you to embed content within websites, forums and other online applications that use HTML coding. The iframe HTML tag is fully supported by most standard browsers, including Firefox.
Troubleshoot iframe
-
If you are coding a website, but can’t see the iframe in Firefox, start by troubleshooting the iframe itself. Ensure that the iframe tags are properly coded. The iframe code should display something like the following: <iframe src="URL"></iframe>
The URL in the tag is the URL address of the website that you are displaying within the iframe. Ensure that the URL address is correct and navigate to the URL to ensure the website you are attempting to display in the iframe is available. If your iframe is referencing a URL that doesn’t exist, Firefox will not display the content properly. -
Troubleshoot Firefox
-
If you are certain that the iframe is coded properly, attempt to view the iframe using another browser. If you can see it within a different browser but not in Firefox, this indicates the issue is with the browser and not your coding. Hold the “Shift” key on your keyboard and launch Firefox in safe mode without add-ons. If this fixes the issue, this indicates that an add-on is causing the issue with your iframe. If it does not fix the problem, you can reset the Firefox settings to default from the safe mode prompt, or reinstall a fresh copy of Firefox to address the issue.
Disable Add-ons
-
If an add-on is causing the viewing issue within Firefox, you can use safe mode to determine which add-on has the incompatibility. While in safe mode, enable a few add-ons at a time from the Firefox menu and attempt to view your iframe after each change. When you determine which add-on is causing the issue, you can disable or uninstall the add-on to allow you to view the content of your iframe correctly.
