Site doesn't work well with Firefox and Safari

Well, it's not Firefox (Win XP). I use this site everyday *heavily* while i'm at work, and I have never had a problem. It has to be something with your machine.

Additionally, the kernel panics to not affect the majority on this site. My suggestion would be to troubleshoot your systems for errors.

 

Agreed... it must be something in your system. I'd say that MANY of us use Safari on this site without problems.

Have you checked your prefs to make sure you have everything turned on? The first thing everyone usually says is to "repair permissions" though I don't know if that would have any effect or not.

Odd you would have problems on different platforms though.

 

This is serious wind up time, very worst case scenario is that YOUR Safari and Firefox is causing trouble for YOUR OS X.

Things don't go that wrong with OS X unless it has been meddled with, be helpful and give details of what non standard things have done to your system.

I'm afraid I think you are just trying to dismiss the Mac in some sort of self satisfying way. Truth is, if a Web site could cause Kernel Panics where would be the market for malicious viruses? They could just spam promising links to people and cause havoc.

Last Kernel Panic I ever saw was 10.0 and I mess and poke about with everything in the system.

Your problem is either made up or in no particular hurry to be fixed, there are ways to interest people in helping you or there are ways to annoy people who could help you.

It's your choice.

 

Have you tried other forum sites?

 

Have you repaired your permissions in OS X using disk utility?

 

The only oddity I have noted is that since upgrading to FireFox 9 on my Windows machine at work there seems to be a small issue with the ads at the bottom. When I scroll dow (using the scroll wheel) and the cursor is over the ads, I can scroll just the ads for one click on the wheel (about 5px). Not really a big deal, just thought it was interesting.

 

I've used Firefox on both a Win2k and XP box since 0.6, and it has NEVER crashed on this site. Considering Firefox is now @ 0.9, I see no reason it should start to crash.

That is, unless you are using a nightly build or a trunk build. All bets are off when you use those, so do so with caution.

 

Someone must have a FAQ somewhere about this Safari goofiness. Just to chime in, I have always used Safari to view this site and I don't have issues.

It doesn't sound to me like it's the problem, but if you really think its the pop-ups, give pithhelmet a try and see if it helps?
