Clearing my firefox browser cache solved this. Thanks to @emileifrem

This is not an API question, but I don't know where else to ask it...

Twitter recently changed their web setup. When I click on the followers
link when I logged in on http://twitter.com I get a page of followers and
choose between List and Expanded views.

  My first problem is that when I click on the follow icon next to a user's
  name, nothing happens. The generic gray avatar icon I click on (with the
  little + sign on it) flashes, but that's it.

  Second problem: when I go to that user's page (http://twitter.com/zooko
  in this case) and click on the Follow button, nothing happens.

  Third problem (related?): When I click on a Trending Topic link, I get
  taken to a new page that asks What are you doing?, has the usual update
  box, has the normal right sidebar - but which has no tweets on it at all.

  Fourth (related?): When I type a tweet into the update box, I no longer
  see a counter showing me how many chars I have left.

It almost feels like I have a systematic problem with Javascript. But I'm
using a stock Firefox (Ubuntu Linux Hardy 8.04 fully apt-get updated)
3.0.12. I have tried this with all FF extensions disabled.  I have
Javascript enabled.

The rest of my web browsing seems fine, no problems with other sites AFAIK.

It feels weird to be asking here about such fundamental problems. I haven't
seen anyone else bring them up, so I imagine I have something weird going
on. Or are there really so few people left on the planet using the regular
web interface to Twitter? :-)

Thanks for any help / suggestions.

TweetDeck (http://www.tweetdeck.com) is the obvious answer, you can group
your contacts into different panels and thus not have the noisy drown out
the intelligent.

Pretty sure other clients do it too, to different extents - a bit of
googling and trying them out won't hurt if TD's not to your liking. ;)

 I was wondering if there was an app that let's you categorize the
 people you're following.

 For example, there are some people I'm following that update their
 status almost every minute and it's hard to see what your friends are
 doing unless I stop following these super tweeters. It would be nice
 if I could put them all in a special category called bored or
 something and my friends in another category to clean things up.

 Do you know of any apps that do this? I haven't been searching around
 much but I'm on a Mac if that helps.
