new browser troubles Firefox 3

gionc · 09-07-2008, 04:41 AM

I guesses was me (a$$hole) but I noticed that around the board someone other report these troubles:

With the last Mozilla Firefox release (3.0) you can't do "Quick Reply" and "Edit" a post.

Anyone know more? Any idea to fix the bug? TBH I didn't noticed any improovment beeing a rough user, may be better back to the old release?

You're just hitting the

button too hard.

I'm having the same problems

Me too. And it's been for 2 months already.

I went back and starting using 2.0.0.16 again with no problems. Everytime I sign onto my computer after about 5 minutes of activity, I get a pop-up window from Mozilla letting me know 3.0 is ready to download. I just click "Later", no use downloading it again if the problems with this site haven't been ironed out yet. My son's computer has 3.0.1 on it and I forget that fact sometimes if I happen to be on it and decide to do a quick check of AF and post a reply

. In the meantime, continue to use the "Go Advanced" button and reply from that screen,( at least that function still works

)

Same hassles here, no edit or quick reply, but the Go Advanced works. Weird.

I just joined the site, but my firefox 3 has the qucik reply ability. Wonder what's up?

On a few rare occasions I click the Post Quick Reply button, and it actually works. By rare occasion I mean once out of 20-30 times. The Edit button never works though.

Just wanting to do a little bit of updating here. I came across a discussion on the Internet concerning some issues with Firefox 3 and some websites. Firefox 3 Beta 5 is now being tested for release and there are about 750 "fixes" to known issues with previous versions, ( as of this post I believe FF 3 .03 is being released.)One of the items mentioned was a fix for FF 3 to be compatible with more websites. Keep our fingers crossed and let's hope this will allow those with FF3 to be able to fully use all the functions here on AF. ( If I happen to test FF3Beta5 and see if it works , I'll post any findings here for informational purposes.)
Anybody try using Google's new browser "Chrome" with AF? Any issues there?

I am using chrome now, i love it. it loads pages quickly and efficiently

Manic1888 · 05-25-2009, 01:50 PM

I'm confused by all of this!!

Manic1888 · 06-11-2009, 02:31 PM

Here, here to Chrome- good tool

UPDATE The above issue with FF3 and AF has been solved a few months back with an upgrade to the site's software and servers. There should be no more issues posting a reply within the forums by using any button.

I don't know if I have this problem.

I've had alot of trouble with the latest firefox recently. The main issues I've had is the fact it keeps crashing and using huge amounts of memory. For example I'd have 8 tabs open and it would be using over 1gig of memory. Crazy.
