Unable to post in Firefox?

Post by dnsey »

For some time now, I've been unable to post or reply to these forums using Firefox, for the simple reason that the appropriate buttons didn't appear when I was logged in.
Decided to tackle the problem today, and discovered that 'load images' was deselected for this site. This seems to have happened by default after a Firefox update.
Anyway, in case anyone else has the same issue, go to tools>page info>permissions, and ensure that the 'allow' radio button is 'on' under 'load images'.

I'll have to check that but always used to use Firefox for this site (and many others) but currently use Flock on Vista (Firefox clone) and Galeon on Ubuntu as it renders the pages better (sharper text).

Just had a look at the Linux version (3.5.8) and all is as it should be. The Vista machine is busy elsewhere at the moment.

ETA: No problems with the Windows version of Firefox either (3.6). Perhaps just a configuration glitch?

No such issue for me and I've only ever used Firefox for this forum.
