Firefox/Mac Issues with this Forum

Jeffrey Butler · April 10th, 2007, 10:57 PM

Nah. The prefs doesn't change anything. Here's the cookie list for those techs that are just curious.

I tried to remove these, then change the prefs, but didn't get anywhere.

This thread, for the admins here, may help.

It seems that it could be the time zone settings or something related to it.

Yeah I've got to log on everytime too with safari, it's weird I never had this problem in the past.

Richard Zlamany · April 14th, 2007, 11:05 PM

I too have this problem from out of no where.

I am running mac & safari

Richard Zlamany · April 19th, 2007, 11:31 PM

Will there be a fix for this soon? Is there something we should do? Is switching browsers the only solution?

Boyd Ostroff · April 20th, 2007, 06:03 AM

Please be patient Richard. I reminded Chris of this issue at NAB, but as you might imagine, there has been a lot going on this time of year. It hasn't been forgotten, but I can't promise you it will be fixed by any specific deadline.

I had the same probs and traced it to a new auto-updated firewall settings that somehow conflicted (after the newest update) with both browsers I use. Try lowering your firewall and if your browser works again normally, you've got the same prob.

It was a stupid "Privacy>Ad/Pop-up Blocker>High" setting and a reset to medium from "high" made everything right...

BTW, I use CA Security Center on this computer

I usually just have problems with Firefox on Mac in general. I can't tell you the number of times the browser just freezes up and I have to force quit it.

Safari seems to work just fine though.

For the past couple of weeks I've had to log on each time with Safari, but suddenly today it works normally.

Me too! Woohoo! I stay logged in now!

Richard Zlamany · May 9th, 2007, 02:19 PM

And so do I.

Hopefully it's fixed... but try again tomorrow before getting too excited. DVInfo is temporarily running on its old server at the moment during maintenance and will be migrating to a new system tonight.

I just confirmed it twice.

Boyd Ostroff · May 10th, 2007, 08:16 AM

We are now running on the new server this morning... is Safari happy?

Heath McKnight · May 10th, 2007, 08:35 AM

For me, no problems.
