[gentoo-user] problem with firefox-bin

[gentoo-user] problem with firefox-bin

[David Relson]

firefox seems to have a problem with pricewatch pages.  For example, if
I navigate to http://www.pricewatch.com/gallery/monitors/lcd_24in, I
have a header panel, and a brands/stores panel, but no list of 24" LCD
monitors.  Right clicking and selecting "save page as" lets me save the
page as lcd_24in.htm.  Using File//Open I can view the saved page fine.

This happens with both www-client/firefox-bin-3.5.8 and
www-client/firefox-bin-3.6-r1

I'm linux 2.6.28-gentoo-r5 SMP built for x86_6.

Any suggestions about what's borked with firefox-bin?

FWIW, my son has firefox 3.6 on Windoze and it has no problem with
pricewatch.

David.

I have 3.5.8 compiled and the link you gave seems to work fine.  I also 
noticed that adblock was missing after the last update.  First time I 
saw a ad for anything in a long while.

In the past, I have read where a few people have issues with the bin 
versions.  Any reason you can't compile Firefox?  It may not fix it but 
you may want to save that for a last resort.

For no particular reason, I decided to remove all my firefox addons.

Problem solved!

Add them back one by one to find out which one it was.  You then may 
want to report it to whoever developed the add on.

Adblock plus blocks frame "###adcontainer" guess what frame name that website uses...
Add this filter "~pricewatch.com###adcontainer" and ask EasyList (USA) to add an exception for that website. 
Reading http://adblockplus.org/en/filters was not fun :(
