Firefox 3.6 - Metpage Problems

[Pete-Rock]

Hi Mike, thanks so far, the link is dead but I found it. Hope it works. Windows is 64bit, yes, but Firefox is still 32bit.

DAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNN!!!!!

I installed both the latest versions of Java, 32bit and 64bit like recommended for 64bit-systems on their website. IT STILL DOES NOT WORK!!!!! This sucks. I dont want to switch to another browser every time I'd like to visit Metpage. EVERY other website works fine. I have no problems whatsoever on any other website.

Tried an other skin?

Tried to disable your AV, firewall, antibanner,...? It's possible a false alarm blocks some code on the site

By the way, I'm not the webmaster but I don't think the forum uses Java. Javascript is used though. When you say "When I deactivate Java" you mean java or javascript?

Are you sure you tried to delete your firefox profile? Just to be sure it's not a bad setting.

You could try a clean install of firefox. Uninstall firefox, delete the profile, install firefox 4. Of course you lose the bookmarks, passwords stored, cookies... It's possible to back up them though.

I upgraded to Firefox 4 couple weeks ago, before then I was using exactly 3.6 and everything worked fine. I suggest you to upgrade 4.0 as well, it's now the stable version so there's no bug or anything (at least for me).

The only major issue with Firefox 4 (at least on my computer) is the buggy hardware acceleration that makes the fonts blurry. Apparently it won't be fixed until several months

Are you running any addons in Firefox such as No Script?

[Pete-Rock]

You guys are awesome, really, thanks for all your support.

I'll try to answer the questions (As you know, part of my problems here is I cannot quote, so I have to do it without quoting)

MasterM:
- no other skin
- firewall, av, antibanner - I tried disabling everthing, didnt help
- I disabled javaSCRIPT in the firefox preferences
- yes, I deleted firefox completely. Installed it new, no results. All that was done on my old PC some weeks ago, last week I set up a whole new computer and after I installed firefox 3.6 it didnt work on it either. Thats the cleanest install possible, right? after that I started this topic and installed Firefox 4.

SJM:
- no addons.

I have no idea what else to try

Feedback from people running win 7 64 bits and firefox would be useful to find out whether you are the only one affected by this problem.
I've made an announcement.

About this skin, I wanted to know if you tried an other skin for the forum. You can choose it at the bottom left.

By the way, many functions of the forum needs (AFAIK) javascript. So you probably have to enable javascript to select a skin

@M4ST3R M1K3: I'm running Windows 7 x64 and Firefox 4 kept crashing my graphics card and / or my PC. I uninstalled it and I now run Opera instead. Haven't had any problems and I get all the same functionality and customization abilities of Firefox.

I'm also running Windows 7 x64 on my pc and I don't have any problem with Firefox 4. On my laptop I have Win XP and it's working well too with FF 4.

Maybe I have not made myself clear enough, I had this problem on my old 32bit machine since I upgraded to Firefox 3.6 (no problems with 3.0.19) and now on my new 64bit PC I still have those problems.
