Bad Gateway issues with Firefox? (1 Viewer)

[questrider]

I thought I would chime in that I use Firefox (always the latest version) on two Windows 7 computers and a Mac. Never experienced any of the issues that are being discussed in this thread.

I am having the same issues discussed in this thread, including being unable to view the forum sub-sections and being unable to post. I can get around the viewing issue by hitting escape as the page loads. In order to post, I have to temporarily disable all my addons (including noscript).

I suspect this issue is directly connected to ads.

I (currently) don't have issues with FireFox but use Chrome at work .I can log in but if I do, I'm able to click on a post but then Chrome crashes or hangs up. I CAN view posts if I am NOT logged in via Chrome (but of course can't post )

Everything seems to be working correctly for me this morning using Firefox. This is the first time I have been able to post anything via this browser in quite awhile.

Did anything change?

 

[Dave Upton]

I have been working with our developers to see if they could find anything - it's possible they found something.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

Looks like I spoke too soon. My issues have returned. There is no post box, and the upper left Forum List button doesn't work again in Firefox.

Things are getting worse instead of better for me with Firefox. Here is what I am getting now:

Everything is working fine here in Firefox on my Mac and two Windows 7 computers. I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate these issues have to do with advertisements since I have a Premium subscription ("Supporter") here at HTF so I get no ads.

 

[Dave Upton]

Scott,

I see you have ABP - have you tried disabling it on our site?

 

[Josh Dial]

For what it's worth, my screen looks exactly like Scott's. I can confirm that I do not have ABP enabled. That being said, I'm convinced the issue is ad related.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

Scott,

I see you have ABP - have you tried disabling it on our site?

I just disabled ABP, and the forum page came up, but the Forum List in the upper left corner still did not work, nor was the reply box available. I re-enabled ABP, and now everything is functioning properly again. Very odd behavior.

 

[Dave Upton]

That looks like the forum list is working to me. It's a different one from the drop down.

Yes, that was after disabling and then re-enabling ABP. I had to do the same thing again a few minutes ago, so there is definitely something up with the ads and ABP. I will leave it disabled for HTF for teh time being, see what I get, and report back.

 

[Scott Merryfield]

I am still running into occasional issues with Firefox, even with ABP disabled for the site. Twice now I have gotten this:

If I enable ABP and then disable it again, everything returns to normal.

 

[Dave Upton]

Scott,

That's the result of a script being blocked on your end. Not something we can really fix from our end, but will continue to keep at it.

Sometime today everything went back to normal (as in, how it was a month ago). And that's an improvement. Did you guys do anything last night?

 

[Dave Upton]

Not aware of anything Al. Maybe your cache was cleared?

 

[jcroy]

Maybe your cache was cleared?

I always clear the cache.

To be more specific, I always run firefox inside a sandbox where I delete everything in the sandbox after I'm finished with firefox. So every time I run firefox anew in a sandbox, it is basically a bare-bones copy with only updated extensions/plugins.

The semi-random issues with scrips, ads, etc ... that others have mentioned on this thread, I have experienced too in a semi-random manner.

 

[jcroy]

(I don't know if this matters).

I updated both Firefox and NoScript earlier this morning.

Currently I only have to temporarily activate hometheaterforum.com on noscript. Nothing else.

 

[Al.Anderson]

I didn't actively clear the cache, in fact, I didn't do anything overt; so I don't think it was me. And for what it's worth I'm seeing the "return to a month ago" improvement both at home and at work.
