Is there some way to configure Firefox to run online
games...specifically "word world" on uproar .com? Everything comes up
fine, but the game never loads.

Just use Internet Explorer for the games. Probably an activeX thing.

Get latest security updates beforehand, though. Sites like this are why
you're using Firefox, eh?

Just find out if the games use Java or ActiveX.
If they use Java, make sure you have Java loaded or find updates on the
Firefox site.
if they use ActiveX, I'd skip them like they were on fire. Those could
easily be dangerous.

As mention'd an ActiveX problem.

I put a lot of faith in someone else doing all the work to produce a
HOSTS file - which blocks me from ADs and malware.

127.0.0.1 uproar.com - happens to be in mine.

Since ActiveX is involved, you should do a spybot, adware, and
Hijackthis http://hijackthis.de/en scan on your system.
