Firefox and HMEM

[Troutsqueezer]

Firefox no longer works with HMEM on my desktop computer (Win7). It waits for a response from the HMEM server but never gets one. The browser freezes. I've re-installed Firefox and killed the cookies, still no work. Any ideas? IE9 works great but don't like that browser. This problem is only with HMEM.

At work, both my laptop and desktop will not show any unread posts, stating there are no unread posts. Deleting the cookies will fix that, until the next day when it happens again. Also, if I access HMEM in the morning and get that message, later that day it will reveal any new unread message for that day but at midnight, it turns back into a pumpkin and the next day repeats the problem. I've seen other posters here with the same problem. Not too concerned about this one but it is aggravating sometimes.

That's odd. I'm using the latest firefox right now. Never had any issues with this site.

I have a similar problem on occasions.

When i click the bookmark it will not load the site.
I have to go to another site and then try and reload the HMEM site.
Sometimes this works and sometimes not.

Try again a few minutes later and there she is!

Annoying at times but at least i can get it to load usually.

Never had any issues on my Mac at home though.
Only on Windows pc's...

Trout, what version of FireFox are you using ?

I run FF 8.0 on both WinXP and Win7x64 on my office machines; no problem there.

The FF 6.0.2 on my home PC (Mandriva 2010 Linux) does display similar problems, but that's overdue for an upgrade now - both FF and the linux. FF5.0 worked fine on it, but FF6 does have some issues - especially if I didn't close it and let it automatically load tabs that was open on start-up.

6.0.2. Firefox updates to the latest version on its own. At work, everything is run thru a proxy so I'm not surprised there may be side effects with that. But the home computer which doesn't like HMEM and only HMEM is surprising. It has been the last two weeks with this behavior. Everything else about the computer is fine. One of life's mysteries I guess. I'll just settle for the work-arounds, much like machining, or life in general for that matter.

Thanks guys.
