DARN

Firefox v1.0

Extensions I have:
magpie
gmail notifier
mozilla archive format
A's Yahoo mail notifier
sage
spiderzilla
switchproxy
spoofstick
chatzilla
eggon
bookmarksftp
adblock
smoothwheel
dragtotab
download statusbar
BBCode
Chrome Edit
FoxyTunes

Jump Link
DerBrowserTimer
Forecastfox

Don't worry, I'll delete at least four of these (spiderzilla, bookmarksftp chrome edit and bookmarksftp) Why use whats uselsess to me?
Additionally...
Themer and mng-windows-fb wouldn't show up in the "extensions" area even after I tried reinstalling the two

 

I used to have the same problem with firefox. Some avatars and some gifs would not display properly. I finally uninstalled firefox and installed mozilla 1.7.5 and have not had the problem since. I think when they lightened up firefox from mozilla they lightened to much.

Ac.tually, it was working fine before I reinstalled FF and its extensions (and the whole system)
I think its one of the extensions.... I had to get all "updated" versions for v1 (because last install had been upgrade)

 

Don't you just hate it when that happens

 

So I suppose that officialy makes me a "blot on Wilders"
But seriously......I'm a bit reluctant to load too many extensions/themes with FF.
I've had a couple of glitches with past versions. A certain theme or extension may make the screen blink...or something similar. It must be related to certain machines also, because that Noia theme works nice on a work computer, but causes probs at home.

PS. I retired the Xmas avatar last night.

 

bigbuck
yeah... the normal ava shows up as nice...

I use Tor and Privoxy... no, it doesn't help to go direct (I even tried using a friend's Proxy server that I used to work with till last month, still the problem remains)

 

I'd be tempted to scrap FF and all the extensions and reinstall a fresh FF.

 

Here's a photo (
See?
firefox is a meanie

 

and see how it goes before adding your extensions....

 

Tada...
FIXED!!!!!!!11
Reinstalled FF over writing the previous install
No need for backups or anything...
Bamn! FIXED!

... I didn't find ANY other answer even after half an hour of googling.
Thanks Everyone

 

Cool!.....good to see you sorted it!

 

It's started again.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Privoxy is to blame.
DAMN... no anonymity for me.. I'll have to fall back to the dynamic ip server in India my buddy operates...

 

Additionally...
IE works fine with Privoxy

 

Bummer!.....I've never used Privoxy, but it looks like they have a really comprehensive website with user manuals, FAQ's, Bug reporting and I saw some stuff on GUI's and GIFs. I suppose you've had a look already anyway?

 

yeah... went there
But it was all OHT... dunno why... If proxo can do the ip abstraction that Privoxy does, I guess I'll switch sides.

 

Activate ur Security Alert and it should point u exactly to where the problem lies. Cookies & Privacy.

 

Like I said... I traced it to Privoxy.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Security alert is SP2 i think I'm currently running an unpatched machine thanks to a HDD failure.

 

No I have yet to instal SP2. Try setting ur cookies to default in FFox. Tools/Options/Privacy?Cookies. Under Web features, make sure "Load images" is check marked as well as enabling Java & Javascript. See if this helps.

U can get ur patches here. http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/default.mspx

I will try to find the link for the free CD microsoft offered that had all the patches there. In the meantime, if anyone else finds the link, please post it - thanks.

 

Like I said... I traced it to Privoxy. It's no longer an FF thing.
MODS: maybe someone could append to the title to reflect the change?

 

Can I?
LOL... your call... I'm now looking for Privoxy support, if anyone knows... The official support places are pretty confusing.
