Firefox is dumb

vraiblonde · 10-27-2009, 01:14 PM

I'll load a page, then it blips out and all the content disappears. Like, I just went to Fox News to see the 20 greatest scream queens of all time. The page loaded and I could see the content for about 2 seconds, then the content disappeared and I was left with a blank page. This happens all the time, on all kinds of different websites.

It's not the computer because it does this on my laptop, too. So it's either Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 GTB5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)) or maybe my java settings?

Anyone have this happen to them?

Nope. I have no issues with FireFox. I do however have issues with IE7.

Do you get a pop-up or anything saying the security certificate is expired? If so, double check the time and date on your computer. also could be java or flash related. Uninstall and re-install java and flash.

Nope, no pop ups.

But I'll try redoing java and flash. Thanks!

I'd insert a witty remark but I don't want to piss you off (again).

The ONLY place I have FireFox issues is on SOMD.com. Every page reload flashes 2-4 times before it settles. That's been happening ever since the last web server upgrade to SOMD.

No issues anywhere else.

Now see, I have no problems anywhere on Somd.com - that's why I didn't think it was a flash or java problem. BUT! That gives me an idea. I wonder if it's my security settings? Because I'm set to accept anything on Somd.com, but not sure about elsewhere.

Hmmm...

I would tend to agree about Flash and Java. Happens on my older XP machine as well as my brand new Vista Premium laptop with 2 different versions of FireFox. I'm sure there are minor version differences in Flash and Java too, between the 2 laptops, never really bothered to figure it out.

And java it was! Thanks, TWL!
