Troubles With Firefox and Posting Messages

Anyone else having trouble with Firefox browser ver. 8.0.1 ?

 

My issue seems to occur when I try to post more than one message in an open online session. The toolbar on the message

window doesn't appear, so, I can't insert a link or quote a reply message.

 

I have to press  shift+reload to clear the cache, then and only then can I post again in the same session online here.

 

This problem just started for me with Firefox as I have been using Firefox for months.

 

Thanks for any help.

Hi veracious,

 

Try clearing the cache history. See "Firefox How To Clear the Cache" -> Link and let me know if that works.

Re: Troubles With Firefox and Posting Messages

Thank you for your suggestions  mod-moose. 


I like to keep the private browsing mode enabled, thus, your workaround would disable that option.

 

Of course, I'll remember your suggestion should I ever get into this trouble again.

So far, the shift+reload option works every time even with an open window.

There has to be some sort of glitch with the Firefox 8.0.1 since this entire series of mishaps never occured in the past.


Your solution is a good one, but again, I like to browse "in the private mode". Maybe I'm just paranoidSmiley Very Happy


I appreciate your help. Thank you, my friend.

Re: Troubles With Firefox and Posting Messages

mod-moose,  The toolbar came up without any problems today.

 

I am posting this with the toolbar visible right now.  I'll post a follow up right reply in a few minutes to see

if it works without having to clear the cache or reload the page from the server.

 

Thanks for the follow up.

Follow up post to mod-moose.  All is well. The problem I was having was posting a second or third new message

while I was still online in the same session. This post gave me no trouble at all. So, two posts in a row works.

 

Good Job !!
