Firefox

[meglet]

When I use AB in Firefox the "Recent Posts" button doesn't work. It's fine if I use AB in IE but I prefer Firefox as its faster.

Anyone any ideas?

It works for me in Firefox. Try starting firefox in safe mode and see if it works then.

If you have AdBlock on Firefox, check that this script isn't blocked.

Oops, and this one.

Thanks both however I don't know how to do either of those things! Would you mind elaborating? Thanks.

[meglet]

I'm not sure if I explained properly actually. I mean when I click on refresh, nothing happens.

TIA

You have to manually install AdBlock from mozillas add ons pages. If you haven't done that, then ignore my answers and try Ethels.

Thanks Dab. So how do I start in safe mode?

(BTW F1 again this weekend! And great news about it going back to the BBC. Dummmmm, dum dum dum dum dum dum dud dum dudmmmmm!)

That is good news Meglet, no more effing ad breaks. :-)

Try this for your firefox. Click on tools then options then content make sure that all the java boxes (enable javascript and enable java) have ticks in them

Have done all that and restarted Firefox. No difference I'm afraid.

Just done a check on your problem Meglet, it seems that as AB is programmed in Microsoft OLE they haven't programmed the refresh link for use with Firefox. I have the same problem as you.

It's just lazy programming, not a Firefox problem.

[meglet]

Oh. How bloomin annoying.

Thanks for your help.

Don't click on 'refresh' - click on 'recent posts' and refresh will change to 'on'

[dabees]

It will Ethel, but my post is still valid. You can refresh via the "refresh" tab in IE, but not in firefox.




PS, Glad to see you back Ethel. :-) I hope all is well.
