Firefox 3.6 - Metpage Problems

[Pete-Rock]

Hi there fellas,

I got this problem that I use Firefox 3.6.16 and since I upgraded to this version I cant write PMs or reply to topics here on Metpage. The only thing that works like it should is the quick reply below each thread. But when I want to reply regularly or write a PM, I see the window where to write the text but no prompt appears and I cannot write anything. Before I upgraded I was using Firefox 3.0.XX and everything was fine. It also works with any other browser. This is so strange because I dont have those Firefox-problems in any other forum or on any other website and it is my main browser so I dont want to switch to another one just for using Metpage which would be very inconvenient.

Anybody know this problem or know how to solve it?

Thanks in advance!!!
Pete

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).

Thanks for the suggestion. Just upgraded to Version 4. And guess what..... same problem. Can only use the fast reply, no regular reply, no PMs

Ah damn. Well I'm not an expert but one more thing what came to my mind is upgrading all of your Firefox addons (Java, Flash, and so on). Maybe some of those are out-to-date and that causes your problem. If not I have no other clue and hope someone else can help you.

try deleting all you cookies for Metpage, closing out Firefox and revisiting the site.

Copy files where bookmarks and passwords are stored (if you may need'em after) from your profile's folder:
For me: C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Datai\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\**
Then remove this profile and create a new one. After that, restore copied files to this one. Maybe this will work.

AAARGH. Didnt help either. Thanks though! Will try to google this problem, maybe there's someone else having the same trouble.

Ok so damageinc's first thought was good, it has something to do with JAVA. When I deactivate Java, I can use the normal reply-button, but it is still not possible to quote others. I also cannot use the emoticons, so all that is not as comfortable as it used to be.

So.... is there anything that might need an update? Do you guys know how to update Java on your PC? I'm running Windows 7 64bit.

Here's the link to Java for Windows 64 bit
