Firefox users, We need your help.

iuse firefox i have a problem every now and then but nothing i cant work out

[Domestic]

I browse SBR using multiple versions of Firefox, currently using firefox 4.04b.
I've never had any major issues. But the problem that Shari is describing can be to do with our distance from the SBR web server seeing as we live in Australia and naturally the site does not load as quickly and on occasion will "time out".

Only problem I ever have is the SBR videos seem to take a long time to buffer properly but this is an issue on all browsers.
But yeah this site and Firefox seem very compatible in my experiences.

[Andy117]

Never had an issue, I use firefox almost exclusively.

It may be a distance issue but I've seen Americans start threads about the same problem I'm having and if I'm not mistaken, John also experienced the same thing. Once you clear out your cookies, it works fine again.

In reality, the issue I'm having isn't Earth-shattering. Just more annoying to have to clear my cookies out every day and a half or so.

I have both Safari and Firefox (1.0.4) on my Mac 10.4.11. I use either, depending on what I'm doing with the other at the moment I go to SBR. I've never noticed any problems at all.

[pdx107]

Only issue I ever had was with chat just stopping and having to reload it....

I had the same problem from Texas so its not distance. The problem was completely solved by uninstalling FF and reinstalling the latest version.

[scarp]

Firefox 3.6.8 w/ AdBlockerPlus

Once in a while is that a thread won't always fully load. It will show about 5 posts and that's it. Hit reload a few times then the full thread will show up.

[windwind]

[ivanator]

Thanks, I sent you a PM windwind.

[Meestermike]

I use Firefox 99% of the time and have the latest version 3.6.8. Have occasional loading issues but I think it's on my end. Will contact via PM or email if anything comes up.

firefox = getting a virus

connection to sbr problems

forgive me if this is a duplicate but i didn't read all the through the previous posts:

had emails today with willie bee and he incated it was my problem but i use internet explorer. both my home and office computers are on lynksys routers. couldn't get to sbr forum until i by-passed the router and now works fine. did something change in / on your security? worked fine on sat but useless on sunday and today ( until now).

We have a solid site thanks to all the fast feedback and bug reporting from posters here but we need your help to make sure there are no issues with the firefox browser.

Unfortunately we've seen seemingly rare random issues like an image not loading or a thread topic refusing to open. Since these aren't problems that mean visitors can't use the site and are somewhat minor, people work around them.

Instead, we need you to tell us about them! Write to forum@sbrforum.com with Firefox in the subject or PM any site admin. We'll keep a list of any known issues here and give posters SBR points for any website-related firefox bugs.

Some of the things we'll need to know...
Are you using the latest 3.6.8 version? What windows or mac OS are you using? And of course, what happened on what forum page? Screenshots are great.

You can also type in "about:config" into your browser address bar and copy and paste the info into an email or PM, which would help us greatly.

If you'd like to help by becoming a firefox user, you can download Firefox here.

[ivanator]

Hi, I remember talking with you also, try resetting your router by hitting the small reset button. We have not introduce any new variables in our systems over the weekned.

[playersonly69]

Well I still cant view the MYCONTESTS link from home. But that is OK I guess. I just wont play in anymore I guess.


I have never used this firefox thing in my life, maybe I will try it out. I just use IE all of the time and this site is the only one where I have a problem

[Manaconda]

i use firefox, no problems at all with anything SBR.. with other sites like espn though occasionally it will crash on me

[BrigadierPudding]

I've used Firefox on Mac OS X and have never had a problem w/ this site, though it takes a lot longer to load the site than Safari and Chrome do.

[rook]

I`m using Firefox, i get error because of flash player... it just crashes and crashes and crashes...

[aceking]

No problems with Firefox 1.5 .

I can post , place sportsbook bets , play the casino , buy at SBRstore , enter contest picks and transfer points to repay loans .

only problem is your flash ads . 1 is ok , 2 slows down a lot , 3 crashes everything .

[aceking]

not everybody has a quad core PC .

mine is from 2005 .

[shari91]

Well today after I sent the about:support screenshot to the ivanator I was locked out from the forum for 4-6 hours. (Stopped trying after 4, it was working again after 6). All other aspects of the site worked fine ie Chat, Sportsbook reviews, etc... but the forum wouldn't load at all. Just hung there indefinitely.

[Reno Paul]

Works fine for me.

Just downloaded the new Beta 4 version yesterday.....Like the setup better than the 3.6.8 version.

[fedtpels]

I've never experienced any problems. If it happens I will let you guys know.

[Ace_of_Spades]

I can't get into my spreadsheet/blog area, and i usually can. Has this anything to do with firefox?

[ionutm1984]

work fine at me

[chachi]

I emailed this in via the contact us link but my connection to here is so crappy past few days posting it here as well ( via a UK proxy, is only way I can even load the forums at the moment )

If one goes to nwtools.com or network-tools.com and whacks in forum.sbrforum.com, routing errors pop up in the miami trunk of level3.net.

mysbrforum.com I have no issues but that is a different IP and domain than the main sbrforum.com site ... something network wise is amiss, perhaps register an upstream complaint to level3 and/or your hosting agent.

Chachi, could this be why I couldn't get on the forum for a chunk of time today but I could access chat and everything else?! I thought maybe the ivanator was working on something after I sent that about:support log but this sounds more likely now if I'm understanding you correctly.

[chachi]

No worries John, glad to be of help.

Yes Shari ... I've even logged it with Level3 as a "site user complaint" and they have responded back that their Miami boys are looking into it.

I can get into the forum via a UK proxy no problems but if I try direct from here in Cyprus the browser just sits and never completes a page load at all

[bradthebloke]

i cant get into the odds page from explorer or firefox

[bradthebloke]

also cant get into the my points page. i click it and it makes a sound as if i clicked it but nothing happens
