Mozilla Won't Let Me Post or Refresh

Post by Chris Schlotzhauer »

I recently tried Mozilla Firefox here at work and at home. I really like the way it's set up and easy to use. It also seems faster. But, I had to post this in IE because my posts would show up using Firefox. I tried the refresh button but no luck. Anyone have this happen?

Firefox here. That's a new one on me, Chris. Never had the problem with FF.

FF 1.0 Windows
The problem could be your cookies settings. I suppose they have to be enabled for this site. Or maybe you didn't enter thru the main entry page.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Cal Sharp on 22 December 2004 at 05:43 PM.]</p></FONT>

Well I finally got home (it's snowing in Ft. Worth). I'm typing this to see if I see my post at home. Also, where do I enable cookies in Firefox?

Yup, I see my post. I'll check my settings at the office computer. So far, I really like this browser. Zero pup's!

I'm posting with Firefox. Seems OK.

My one little beef with FF, tho, is there's no 'save to desktop', like in IE.

But it is faster and smoother.

I like the download manager window that pops up so you can use or clear out downloads.
I'm still having trouble on this computer (work) in FF. If I post a reply, it won't show up or refresh. I have to use IE to see my posts. I went to tools and enabled my cookies.

Chris,

Try Tools/Options/Web Features and uncheck "for the originating web site only".

PS You might have to restart FF for this change to take effect.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Cal Sharp on 30 December 2004 at 02:02 PM.]</p></FONT>
