Just tried it and works okay. Only the disappearing cursor.

Firefox is a little slower to load than IE6 but doesn't attract the hackers. The tabbed browser is great, but the big, fat cursor is bothering me.

I posted a link for an optimized version of Firefox in another thread but i don't think many people saw it. I've been using it for awhile without any problems. He also has optimized versions of Mozzilla and Thunderbird.

Hmm - is it OK now?

Last night I was experiencing strange things with text editing in these text boxes. My arrow keys were inactivated (?) and every 10-20 characters it was like the ALT or CTRL key was pressed - it would pop me out of the box and into the "Find" bar, URL bar or something.

It might have been related to a program I installed a few minutes before. I rebooted and everything is fine now.

The world famous Reboot® - is there anything it can't solve?

No, I am still having the problem. Even the popups that happen when you pass the cursor over an item have stopped. WYSIWYG editor still does not work and leaving feedback does not work.

Anyone know of a way to get this menu system to work in Firefox?

http://www.liteonit.com/ODD/english/..._sohw1673s.asp

It is in the upper left corner of the page. It says "Menu" with an arrow that should extend the menu. It works in IE. Do I just need a plug-in for this?

ronbo 613 · 01-29-2005, 08:57 PM

Well, I added Firefox as a preview browser to my HTML editor and I got this: http://www.phototk.com/.

After some research on the issue, it appears to not work due to bad coding.

The FF Javascript console does not understand the the term "javascript:expand()" It says that expand is not defined.

There probably is nothing that can be done for this except for maybe shooting an email to the webmaster and asking him to get his code up to snuff. Not too sure if he would appreciate it, but I am sure, you won't be the first person to tell him his parts of his website dont work with FF.

Thanks! It is always interesting to let a Webmaster know that his code doesn't work. I will probably get hate mail for this.

Wow, didn't know someone else was having that problem. Sometimes I type a button and it goes to Find as well. So that appears to be a bug.

It's happened to me probably 5-10 times or so.

Hello, I downloaded Firefox but unfortunately I am not permitted access from the main page to any Web sites. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? I used to be able to use Internet Explorer but now I get defaulted to Firefox and can't gain access to the Web. I'm using AOL and have access that way, but I would prefer another browser !! Is there any other browsers that I should consider (?) or should I just troubleshoot Firefox? I hope someone out there can help me.

Thank you
Jessica

Hi, jessica welcome to the forum.

Can you please provide a bit more detail in your problem? Does it list any specific error(s) when you try to access the internet?

If you want to use Internet explorer in the mean time, just go to the start menu -> Run-> Then type the word "iexplore" without the quotes of course.

I added Firefox as a preview browser to my HTML editor

When I use Firefox to preview webpages using HoTMetal Pro 6, it can't preview the pages from the hard drive and, when online, apparently seeks a page that has a similar title.
Does Firefox work as a preview browser with other HTML editors? Is the problem my older HoTMetal Pro 6 software?
