Topic: Not Mozilla Firefox compatible!? Posted: September 17 2005 at 11:47 |
I have cookies enabled. Sometimes, I come to the site and get logged in automatically. Most of the times not. In the latter case, I can sometimes manually log in, sometimes not. If it does not work, it says that login was successful, but my name is still not listed in the top right corner as logout Dragon phoenix, and I can not post. I do not have a washer tool running. I come to a variety of other sites where the automatic log-in always works. It also works every time without problems when I use IE to come here, from the same two computers (home/work) where I have the Firefox issues.
PS: I do regularly update Firefox, every time the system asks me for it. |

When you say log in what do you mean. If you have cookies enabled, when
you visit this site you should be logged in automatically. You should
just be able to go to the forum link and the login/out icon at the top
should be displaying 'Logout [username]'. If you have some sort of
internet history washer tool running this may also be removing your
cookies every time you leave the internet. More info?
[edit] what I am trying to point out is that many of us have no compatability problems with firefox and PA (this would rule out any firefox issues assuming yours is set up correctly) and it is looking more like a problem with your system setup (not firefox)- even at both locations. There may be a common factor between the two locations that is causing the problem. Edited by cobb |

I still don't get the randomness. On average I think about 30% of the
time I can log in without problems, the other 70% no dice. Same
computer, same settings. I have exactly the same problems at work, so
it is not a PC matter.

Current version of firefox is 1.0.6. If you are using firefox you
should be running this version. Firefox may already be telling you to
download the newest patch. Look for a red arrow underneath the google
quick link top right.
[edit] Cookies must be enabled- but I see some have already discussed this. Windows XP has its own built in firewall that may be tampering with this (or any other firewall you may have installed such as symantec) Edited by cobb |

The benefits to me are - the ability to have multiple tabs open (how long before Microsoft copy that one?), the Bookmark Manager, higher security (at the moment) and it's not Microsoft. |

I might have been trying to apply something not really relevant then. But IE does (or certainly did around version 5) include lots of stuff that isn't part of the standards, people then write websites to be seen in IE and it messes up in other browsers. I think Netscape did the same.
Incidentally, using IE Mariah Carey seems to be following me around |

Firefox (Gecko) has some serious problems with sites that heavily rely on CSS for formatting. I hope they will finally get it right with yet another rewrite of the rendering engine. Other browsers (not just IE, but also Opera) don't have any problems with these things, and they ARE conforming with the standards ... |

Every update to IE over the last year or so is a copy of something Firefox implemented months before , Firefox is also more standards-compliant (which does mean sites that aren't compliant don't always show properly) and I've had no spyware issues since switching.

I see in the computer press that several security holes have now been found in Firefox and hackers are starting to target it now that the user base is increasing. It sounds like it's not the silver bullet everyone was making it out to be last year. To any Firefox users out there: Avoiding hype, please, are there any *big* benefits over IE? I personally never have trouble using IE and would need a very good reason for switching, especially if it causes problems browsing PA.

These are a few errors Firefox reports in the Javascript console:

Source File: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/search_form.asp?FID=0 Line: 31 Warning: Element referenced by ID/NAME in the global scope. Use W3C standard document.getElementById() instead.

That's all i can make of it (am not that knowledgeable). |

I allow cookies, and in fact this is the only site of the many that I visit regularly that fails to log me on automatically, and then refuses to do so manually (just like Verisimilitude posted)

Firefox is working fine for me to. Could it have something to do with
the firewall settings? I remember at one stage not being able to access
something using firefox and it had something to do with the firewall
blocking everything until I changed the settings so that it would

Strange... It's not a problem that's replicated at any other forums... I can't really explain it with any more clarity or understanding of what's wrong... Here's an image of it... |
