FYI on FireFox Viewing BOTW

[mbulriss]

Just an FYI if you use FireFox as your internet browser.

Leroy and I talked a little bit ago and his problem viewing the Bird of the Week
photo appears to be related to the newest version release of FireFox 3.0.8. He
was able to view the BOTW immediately by using Internet Explorer.

I am a big fan of the FireFox browser and have been using it since it was first
released as a beta app. However, this latest release (3.0.8) has been fraught
with crashes. It as blown up twice today on me, so far. The Mozilla discussion
boards are full of reports on it crashing.

Just a heads-up in case you are having problems using FireFox to visit the
Wanderlodgeforum. Many people have it installed on auto update, so you may not
have even realized that you were updated to the newest release yet.

Mike, Leroy.

Interesting...I'm using FirefFx 3.0.8. The Bird of the Week photo shows up fine at my end.

After reading this, I updated from 3.0.7 to 3.0.8 and like Curt, have no problem
with the image. I would disable all add-ins as a first trouble-shooting step.

Just to be clear, I can see the BOTW picture just fine. It was Leroy who could
not see it at all, apparently not even an 'x' box where it should have been. In
general the 3.0.8 works OK for me but just crashes with no warning and
disappears. Lots of threads on it over at Mozilla Support like this one

OK, but I still say try disabling add-ons. I had exactly those kinds of problems
last week with 3.0.7. They occurred after I accepted an update of Sun Java.
Problem went away when I disabled all add-ons. I've re-enabled some, and
probably it was Java Quick Starter but can't say for sure.
