Outline · Standard · [ Linear+ ] Firefox Problem

The problem: sometimes firefox I can't get any page from the site to load, but it works fine in internet explorer. Normally everything works fine in Mozilla Firefox, but not today.

I have the same exact problem, and I know of another rmm user who does as well.

yeah its been discussed in Board Not Loading - its a weird one though, I do a bit of PHP and i wouldnt know where to start looking for that one line of code that made it stop working in a site this complex. I dont envy Freak or his coder to figure that one out, for now ill use IE and enjoy the boobs :)

PHP is parsed server-side, so your local browser has almost zero to do with it - unless certain flags are triggered by what browser you're running to determine certain code paths (most commonly used when IE and Mozilla need different commands, like iFrames used to need and such or Java-/J-script).

At a guess, given the login problems, I'd say the fault lies in the way Mozilla handles cookies. This could actually be a local security setting causing the issue, so someone who uses a Mozilla-based browser (eg Netscape or Firefox) and has a fair amount of confidence with it would do well to experiment with this and report back to JF.

Until then, just use MSIE. Almost all pages (save those which are deliberately written to not run on IE) will load perfectly, and it's secure enough (Mozilla has exploits, too - just not as highly publicised ones). If you want tabs back, try using the MyIE frontend or the MSN Toolbar.

As an interesting anecdote, I'm forced to use Firefox at work and I can't stand it. When half the pages I try to visit either don't come up properly, or come up with a Japanese/Chinese character set, it definately doesn't fill me with confidence. And these aren't complex sites - mostly pricelists for competitors!
