Firefox with GT - Few problems

[Jonbo298]

I've noticed after you did the upgrade Neo, that when I click on Quick Links, the menu doesn't show up. And also I can't give rep. It just goes to the top of the page.

Anyone else using Firefox have these problems?

*interesting, it was moved to the computer forum

[Acebot44]

Nah, I'm fine so far.

[Neo]

I think I read something about a problem with firefox. I'll see if there's a patch

[Blackmane]

I haven't had a problem yet.

[Vampyr]

Mine is working fine, and I'm using Firefox.

[Jonbo298]

I've noticed that I can't open Manage Attachments either with Firefox.

And while I was at work, I was using Firefox also and it worked PERFECTLY fine for awhile, and I went to another site, came back to GT later and the same problems were happening on that computer's firefox as my home comp. is having. So it must be some weird bug in the new release.

ahem. i been sayin for quite a while its quite a bit glitchy.

but thats to be expected in a pre 1.0 version of most anything.

most the minor things should get fixed pretty quickly

I had the "manage attachment" problem a few minutes ago while trying to upload some pics in the PS2 forum, but i just reloaded the page, and it worked fine.

Problem Solved! I think working for Earthlink helped me think of this. I just cleared the cache in firefox and the problems went away I can see the sub-menu under Quick Links again, give rep, manage attachments, etc...

But I wonder if it was some weird cache bug or something that firefox might've gone weird on since I had the same problem pop up at work after awhile. meh, oh well. At least I can stop using IE again for a few things.

Oh sure take the easy way out and blame Firefox.

Well maybe it was a bug or maybe not as just because it is a release does not mean it is the best version at time.Search around Bugzilla if your curious and have the time. I clear my cache almost everytime before I close the broswer.

I use the X (Paranoia) extension to quicky delete whatever I want quickly without going to the options. The default X icon is a pink key so I change it quickly with some simple userChrome.css stuff when I feel like it.

add this in userChrome.css or use ChromEdit
example:

#x-button {
list-style-image: url(file:///c|/path/to/file/icon.png);
}

toolbar[iconsize="small"] #x-button {
list-style-image: url(file:///c|/path/to/file/small-icon.png);
}

add "!important" before the semicolons.

If you use the compact menu extension put #menu in place of #x



Just becuse Mozilla Firefox 0.8 is yet to be 1.0 as people alwasy seem to say does not really mean anything in a ways as that is just how they number it. Netscape 7.1 must be good because of version number right? when it was acutully based on Mozilla 1.4.

If your interested on how Mozilla Firefox is progressing since 0.8 release, then see links such as the popular burningedge site for a idea. http://www.squarefree.com/burningedge/

Oh and as of Fridays nightly build, the profile location is now going to be Firefox, instead of Phoenix. Things like extensions/themes will have to be reinstalled though migration of bookmarks should migrate automatically. Firefoz 0.9 may be released sometime around April-May or later perhaps as though 0.8 branched Dec.16 and finally released Feb.9 in compairson

I've seen problems reported involving avatars and firefox, but so far nothing like what you are describing.

hehe. thats what glitchy is... it will have it for some peoeple somtimes, and not for others.

only problem i've seen with it on GT was that on the main page with the chart, the time of the last post overlaped the number of threads cell.

but doesnt seem to do that now so *shrug*
