The only suggestion I can make is that it might be possible to see what is going on through the 'Browser console' in FireFox. This shows whether any errors occur in the JavaScript program of a page. On a PC I can open it in the lower half of the screen by pressing the F12 function key and selecting the 'console' tab, or typing Ctrl + Shift + J to open it in a separate window. But I don't know if a Mac keyboard even has these keys. You might be able to get there through some menu.

If you press the button that would activate the code that is supposed to place the text, an error message might appear in the console, to report what went awry.

Another thought: have you tried to flush the browser cache (Shift + reload on my FireFox). Perhaps you are still using an old version of some JavaScript file that is still cached in your browser.
