Hi, don't know if this is a Vbulletin or Firefox problem, but it won't brig up embedded images such as Wkids thread on the new fireblade colours

anyone know a fix? I should fucking google it (http://www.fuckinggoogleit.com) but I'm lazy.

Yeah I would have to say that firefox is a piece of shit. I tried it but went straight back to mozilla. Its really buggy and wouldn't display alot of pages right. Hopefully they get it better in the next few releases.

I've used Firefox for months without an issue, including browsing pages using Frontpage extensions. I love the whole no more popups thing, and the separate download window with a list of downloads is just clever. What sort of bugs have you had and did you send a bug report back? It's still in beta and they need your feedback to fix stuff.

It would take like 3 or 4 mins to load most webpages, even though I'm on jetstart. Also sometimes it would come up with an error message saying webpage not found. Don't know what the problems were.

I just use mozilla now. I think firefox is just a slightly cut down version of that anyway.

Yeah, I'm sold on Firefox. I'm using 0.8 and have had NO problems at all with kiwibiker.

Firefox works great for me. I "have to" install it on pretty much every windoze box I use. I actually fine it quicker than Mozilla and having the nifty google bar is nice as well :)

No probs here either. Using 0.8 on SuSE.

Been and checked your settings?

K14 - sounds like you had a bad experience, but can't see how Firefox would do what you described. Give it another go, I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Yeah the .1 on the 9 is bugfixing.

Never blame Mozilla/Firefox for poorly coded pages. IE is a crap nonstandards browser, and anyone who codes for it is a fool.

No probs here - 0.93 is the latest version. I find it far better than Internet Exploder.

Firefox has an issue with 'self-signing certificates' a royal pain, however by turning off "OCSP" validation I have resolved the problem. This is Tools|Options, then Advanced. Scroll down to the bottom and select te appropriate radio button.

Also check the Client Certificate Selection, I have mine set to "Ask every time".

Side note: There are a large number of poor web pages out there that will not display the page until the absolute last image has been downloaded. Have sat and waited for ages for pages to finish downloading. With Opera I watch the image counter and hit the stop button if things are taking to long.
