Firefox Problem Help! - Can't reply to posts

I just switched to using Firefox instead of Netscape, and I tried to reply to a post here & it said:



Anyone know how to fix this? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Very strange, did you try logging out and back in using firefox?

Firefox is all I ever use here without an issue.

It is a forum error or a server error? (Is it surrounded by the normal Scrap Yard layout)

nope. I'm using Firefox and haven't had that problem, ....yet. sorry.

Try these:

In firefox, go to Tools and try clearing your Private Data, such as Cache and Cookies.

Right click on a mozilla firefox icon on your desktop, and try running as Administrator.

Are you running Windows XP? If so, you might have Service Pack 3 (SP3), it's been having a lot of issues with 3rd party software. You can uninstall it from Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

Forum error, with the Scrap Yard layout. I just upgraded to the 3.5 version of firefox. I was holding on to Netscape, but I got tired of it locking up on me. Right now though, the only way I can post is if I use Netscape instead. I tried logging out and back in, and it still did it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I blame the commies and zombies.
that is no good I use Firefox (just started a few weeks ago) and don't have that problem.

did this werk


edit
im using firefox 3.0.11

Mine did that for a few days but it turned out to be a cookie issue showing as a forum issue.

Again I tried emptying the cache & cookies. I even tried rebooting. It's still doing it. Here's what it looks like when I try:



I had TOR installed (but not enabled) & thought maybe that was doing it, but I uninstalled it before rebooting, and it didn't help.

*sigh* I should have just Googled it first. The problem was Zone Alarm removing private header information. Fixed now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Cool. I am glad you got it fixed. I was going to say that I use FF and XP with SP 3 without any issues so it was most likely a configuration issue. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, my laptop has Vista.

THAT NEW FANGLED VISTA IS TRICKY...MY BUDDY HAS IT ON HIS NEW COMPUTER...I THINK ILL STICK W/ XP

I had XP before...I like Vista better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

XP? Vista? Bah! Mac OS X for me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Try this:

Open a new tab
Browse to about:config
search for "sendReferer" without the quotes
Let me know what your sendRefererHeader is set to.

I believe if it is set to 0 it won't work.

Actually, I know for a fact it won't work having just tested it. A setting of 1 or 2 will cure your problem. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm not to keen on Vista or any Microsoft product for that matter. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> I just don't know enough about computers to find anything better.

Back on up so Andy can read it!

He fixed it a while ago, CO.

Ya, it's fixed now. Firewall prob with Zone Alarm. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

i CANT LOG IN TO THE YARD USING THE NEW FIREFOX...HELP

Do you have Zone Alarm? That was my problem. What error are you getting?

not that im aware of,it just wont let me log in.

Is there a button just under the google search area that says something like "Allow"?
If there is try clicking that.

when i go to about:config & search for sendReferer it finds no matches.
firebal,
there is nothing ike that.

it says i have the incorrect password user name combo.
which dont because i just loggged off here & logged back on using the same password

Aren't computers wonderful?!!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It sounds like a cookie problem.

Try clearing your cookies (if you do though you may lose logins and some settings for other sites as well as this one).

I have not upgraded to the new version yet, but on the version I have there is a "Tools" menu. with a "Clear Private Data..." menu item.

If you can find something like that try clearing the cookies, saved passwords and authenticated sessions if you can find them.

This is a test post. Please ignore it.

[edit] I thought I'd try 3.5 to see if I had any problems but it is working for me, so I can't realluy throw any light on your problems posting.
