Are you using Firefox 3 or Firefox 3 beta and are you having problem with Google maps not showing up?

I think I might have the solution to this problem.

By the way, are you using Skype also?

If you are using Skype, then, this blog will help you fix your problem with Google maps not downloading.

If you are not using Skype, then try disabling some add-ons which make use of Java Script, that might help.

Ok, lets start.

Open Firefox 3 and go to Tools | Add-ons.

Look for the Skype extension . It will probably be version 2.2.0.86 or earlier! Right?

If it says version 2.2.0.89 or above, then its bad news, stop reading this blog as it will be of no help.

If its says version 2.2.0.86 or earlier, try disabling the extension … and Google Maps will then work. I tried it, but it didn’t got disabled. If you manage to disable yours, do let me know. Anyway, I didn’t have much time to fiddle with it.

Now go to https://developer.skype.com/SkypeToolbars/

Scroll down till and download the “SkypeFFPlugin.2.2.0.89.exe” [at time of writing, newer version might be out] file of click here.

Install the file and restart Firefox.

That’s it!!!

Reopen Firefox 3 and Google Maps will work.

If that doesn’t solve it, then, search the web for help or use Yahoo Maps!

Please do add a comment below to say whether this worked for you or not. Thanks!
