Title: Having trouble with Firefox
Post by: Pecos Bill on June 11, 2012, 04:32:06 PM: Is anyone else out there having trouble with the site when using Firefox? I'm running an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 and Firefox 13.0. When I sign in the site won't show me signed in till I reload the page and when I sign out the same thing happens except I get an error message. It does sign me in and out. This is no big deal really just got my curiosity up. I have a PC that doesn't give me the same problems and the problem doesn't show when I use Chrome. This started about a week ago.

Let's not turn this into a Mac versus PC thing or an IE versus Firefox thing. I'm just looking for some suggestions.

Thanks, Pecos

Firefox has been a bit hinky all around but not necessarily on DRTV. It's been freezing on me quite frequently.

Are you using the latest version ?

Since you have to refresh the page to show log in success, it sounds to me your Firefox goes to a cached page on your Mac instead of the current online page.

To answer another question, yes I have the latest version of Firefox.

Post by: Pecos Bill on June 12, 2012, 11:57:08 AM: Haz, found the trouble with Firefox. I had the option for Firefox to warn me if a site wanted to redirect me to another site. While this site doesn't do that I was not getting the warning so couldn't allow it. Found that Gunbroker was doing the same thing. Must be something peculiar to the Mac version. If I take out that option works fine.

TT, reread my OP.

+1 to that

I tested it on my iMac running 10.7.4 and FF 13 no issues ( and same for Safari FirefoxAurora )
also may have tested with 10 8 DP4.. "allegedly" with Safari version 6..
