Firefox problems?

[robbalvey]

Is anyone here OTHER than Benzo having problems viewing photos while using Firefox?

I always have. Part of the reason I have went back to using IE.

Firefox has a feature on it that blocks images hosted on 3rd party servers. So if someone posts an avatar or image in a message NOT hosted on TPR, it will not show.

[kenshinmac]

Hmm? I haven't had any problems ever... Well other than when you posted that the server went down. I have always used Firefox for this site too...

What version?

They just came out with 1.5.

Check Edit->Preferences->Web Features->Load Images

Check your exceptions, themeparkreview.com might be there.

I have always viewed this site with Firefox (1.0.7) and have not had any problems.

[robbalvey]

Ok, so am I to assume that if people are having problems with FireFox it is based on their browser settings and NOT an issue with the site?

[DenDen]

^ That assumption is correct Master.

 

Though, the chat doesn't work with Opera, it's no big deal, nobody else uses it.

[ParkTrips]

Yea 1.5 is a great "update"

 

I forgot what I did but I WAS able to work chat in opera... though it still acted weird sometimes..

[DenDen]

I'm downloading 1.5 now, i hope they solved the disappearing favorites bug.

[Wackyboxer]

I've been using Firefox for several months now and I haven't had any trouble viewing anything on TPR.

[Teddymonster]

I used FF and I've never had a problem...

[shepp]

No problems for me, either. A number of extensions and themes won't work in 1.5, though, so if any of them are vitally important to you, check it out before updrading.

[Scaparri]

I also always use firefox and have never had a problem.

[CoasterCrazy]

I have never had a problem and I always use FireFox.

[Ghost]

Looks like many of us use the Firefox Browser...

 

We should have a poll on this... I have way to much free time

I work with the bigger brother of firefox; Mozilla Suite and I have no problems with tpr

[Meteornotes]

I've been using Firefox for months and have had ZERO problems with this site.

You know Mozilla Suite is discontinued and unsupported right? In fact I am not even sure that the Suite got the updates necessary to prevent the last exploit I saw posted for Mozilla apps.

 

Please if you are using a Mozilla based browser get Firefox 1.5 it has automatic updates which will help to prevent problems for you. It also has a number of nice new features.

 

I suggest people make the move to Firefox and Thunderbird if they are currently using Suite.

I use Camino on my Mac, which is a special Firefox exclusively developed for Mac.

 

On this crappy desktop I sometimes use, I use Firefox 0.8

[robbalvey]

Thanks everyone! I really just wanted confirmation that FireFox was in fact working. I've only tested it a couple of times as for the site, my data shows that less than 10% of the visitors use FireFox (although I'm going to assume that the percentage of forum users is higher) but it forces me to use IE as the 'lowest common denominator' that I have to cater to.

 

Some people were saying that there were problems with FireFox and TPR, but I had a feeling it was more of a browser setting issue, and now a site issue.

 

Thanks again for your help!

So i'm using FF too - with caring about my browser settings. Working with TPR as perfect as could be.

 

Robb, this is a typical PEBCAK. Please, please, don't feel "forced" into downgrading your site for these kind of problems. It would be like putting OSTR's and 3 seatbelts on a sofa. Someone always *could* fall off...

I have to be honest, I tried FireFox, and I just didn't see what it offered over IE.

 

Not to offend anyone who uses FireFox, I just didn't get what was so different about it. I'm sure it's great for those who use it, but with IE and browers are concerned I took the "if it ain't broke...." attitude.

 

Sorry, but IE works just fine for everything I need it to do.
