+Team Caracache Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) I am hoping this is not just specific to my computer, but although the geocaching.com pages load properly when I first start my computer, after a while I find that the display goes to low res view or doesn't display properly. This only happens on geocaching site and more rarely on Blogspot. I am using Windows XP Home with SP2 - (SP3 caused a lot of problems) and I browse with Firefox 3.0.5. The short term solution is to switch rendering engine with IE tab and it displays perfectly. However in that display, I cannot use my favourite FF add-on, Nuke Anything Enhanced, which allows me to cut out all the stuff I don't need before printing a cache page. Anyone have any ideas - I tested my Java which is the latest 1.6.0_11 and that seems to be OK? Edited January 2, 2009 by Team Caracache Link to comment
Skippermark Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It displays okay for me with FF 3.0.5. Worst case, you could always uninstall/reinstall FF. If you do, make sure you backup your bookmarks & stuff. Of course, you'd have to reinstall all your add-ons too. I had a problem with FF at work last week and had to do that, but it didn't really take that long. Link to comment
+Team Caracache Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 you could always uninstall/reinstall FF. If you do, make sure you backup your bookmarks & stuff. Of course, you'd have to reinstall all your add-ons too. Sounds easy when you state it like that - assuming you know what you are doing - but I wouldn't know where to start with either backing up bookmarks - and 'stuff'. This presupposes that the rendering problem isn't caused by one of my add-ons!! Is there an idiot's guide to backingup, uninstall and reinstall to the same content state anywhere? Link to comment
Skippermark Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 One thing that I accidentally do sometimes is zoom in/out on the page by accidentally clicking the ctrl button and then scrolling up or down on my touchpad. One option you could do is grab the IE Tab add-on. It lets IE run inside of a Firefox tab. That might help you determine if the issue is with the Firefox renderer or possibly an add-on. If it looks to be a problem with Firefox, you could disable all your add-ons to see how the page works. If it displays okay, it's probably an add-on issue. Then, you can re-enable each, one at a time and keep testing to see which causes the problem. Link to comment
