+The Hornet Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) A few days ago I replaced my Firefox with the new "super dooper" version 3. After overcoming an incompatibility problem with a particular piece of software I got it working. At first glance it seemed fine and I like the way it works. I then noticed adverts which I hadn't seen before and discovered that the Adblock add-in wasn't working. I found a solution to this but now I notice the Greasemonkey script to ignore forum posts isn't working now. Most (all?) other scripts are fine including the OS maps one work fine. Is anyone else seeing this problem? Also, I've tried to find a download for the previous version so I can revert my system until these bugs get ironed out but all the links now point to Firefox 3 downloads. Does anyone know where I can get the old version? (Message to forum mods - I know this is software related but as the problem scripts are essentially UK based I decided to post my query here rather than in the GPS & Technology forum. I have provided a link there to this thread so please do not move this thread.) Edited June 20, 2008 by The Hornet Quote Link to comment
+gazooks Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) I hadn't noticed anything wrong until this point. My forum tools dont work either. Everything else appears to be OK though - at the moment -even Adblock. Edited June 20, 2008 by gazooks Quote Link to comment
+The Hornet Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Just to add that I've now found where to get the previous version of FF. See here and here Quote Link to comment

+lordelph Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'll check out the GreaseMonkey scripts I wrote when I get back from the Oxford camping event! Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Still on Firefox 1.5 thank you very much! None of this new fangulled stuff, until it's been out for a while, and the bugs fixed! Quote Link to comment
+kewfriend Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Just in case you were not aware, there is reported to be a critical flaw in the FF3 which allows drive-by infection to occur. FF report the risk is minimal, (well it would be at this stage as 'toerags' have yet to infect the websites for it to become critical.) However all of you who have downloaded FF3 be aware that your need to update will have arrived rather faster than you might have expected. Quote Link to comment

I gave up a couple hours ago and have switched to the dreaded internet explorer.Not much else I could do. Mine did too. Start FF in safe mode and disable any addons... then add them back one and a time to see which one was causing the problem HTH Quote Link to comment
+The Hornet Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Everything's working perfectly again now........... I've uninstalled FF3 and reinstated FF2 Quote Link to comment

+Sue and Bernie Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'll check out the GreaseMonkey scripts I wrote when I get back from the Oxford camping event! Good Man! May I humbly particularly request the "Ignore Threads" button as a priority... I really miss that power button that I could use to relegate the threads that I hate to view... ...Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
+careygang Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi All I used to have an option on the cache logging page to enter the number of the find; appeared next to the smiley face button. I think this was a greasemonkey function, but I appear to have lost it when I went to Firefox 3. I've now back-dated to Firefox 2.0.0.16, but still no insert count option. Anyone got any ideas?? Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Thanks, thats obviously the one, but it seems not to work. Strangely, I originally installed it to version 1.something and had upgraded all the way to 2.0.0.16 with it working fine, but it seems not to like a cold install to this version. It shows as there on the greasemonkey menu, just doesn't appear. Never mind, there's worse disappointments in the world Quote Link to comment
+walkergeoff and wife Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'll check out the GreaseMonkey scripts I wrote when I get back from the Oxford camping event! Just bumping this. Have the non-functioning (under FF 3) scripts been updated yet? Quote Link to comment
+Gralorn Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Not yet WalkerGeoff, still waiting for Lord Elph to get back from the Oxford Event I believe. Lots of us will be really glad to have the Forum tools back working with Firefox 3 . Deleting the read ones was such a useful tool. We will just have to be patient! Quote Link to comment
