Why is this happening in Firefox?

Feek · 30-07-2009, 21:21

It's not just this forum, it's other places as well.

On the main page:

If I clear my cache and refresh, it goes back to normal but then when I refresh again, it appears as above.

It's effectively showing alt-text instead of images, but only in some places.

I've done all the usual OS X stuff like blatting caches, running maintenance scripts etc.

Any ideas?

Got any ad blocking plugins installed - or indeed any plugins?

Yes, Adblock. If it was consistent then I'd agree it could be a blocker but the fact that it's only just started and it's intermittent that confuses me.

/edit - Disabled adblock and it's the same.

Actually now you mention it, it's happening here as well.

Control-click on the alt text (or right click if you want). Do you see a view image option? If you do, click it. What happens?

I got a weird Bug with FF on OC, Every time I pressed New posts it came back saying wait 10 seconds even though I had only pressed it once.

I have no help for myself or you though.

Log out of the forum and then log back in might sort that one out. Don't do this if you've forgotten your forum password.
