Problem Connecting to FBGRV Site using Firefox

[Huck]

When I connect to Fiberglass RV using Firefox, the icon in tab changes to a circle that keeps looping around indicating loading or busy.


The blue circle just keeps looping around and around until I click the X to Stop Loading this Page. I'm guessing it is looking for some kind of end message and is not recognizing it.

I tried the page with Safari and it loads properly. With Firefox it works fine, but even over night, it indicates it is still loading.

If anyone else has Firefox, can you tell me if FBGRV loads properly?

I'm on Firefox. No issues.

So your tab looks like this?



And not like this?

I use Firefox and occasionally I run into this. It gets hung up on some Java script, or a plugin. Stopping and reloading the page does it for me. Yes, it is a pain...

Hmmm,
I've been thinking of migrating to firefox. Seems that XP and IE8 is slowly being antiquated by the rest of the world. Why have an internet box if the internet does not support it?

I think if it was a script, there would be a message, so I'm guessing a plugin. I tried to update my plugins, but they are as up to date as they can be with the version of Mac OS X I am on.

Thanks everyone.

Now this is just plain weird. This morning the problem is gone.

Did not restart Firefox. Did not change anything. FGRB was open in a tab all night.

Safari was also acting weird yesterday on my MacBook, blinking off briefly as I scrolled. Looked like pop-up boxes might be appearing for an instant and then disappearing. Noticed it on FGRV, but affected other sites as well. Did an Apple software update last night & problem is gone now. Could your computer have done an automatic update during the night?

I don't think so. I get a message telling me an update is ready to be installed. I did click on software update yesterday, but it said everything was up to date. And I still had the error after that.

It may remain a mystery… I'll never know whether my software update "fixed" the problem, or if the problem was on someone else's system and got fixed by them during the night. There was an issue with the FGRV app and iPhones a few months back - same thing.

Had no problems here but I use chrome. Could be that there was something wrong with you dns setting but that would mess with all the websites. I can tell you that Microsoft did something to XP in the months running up to them dropping support. Some of the updates slowed it down to a crawl. I worked on a few xp boxes but could not find the update that did it. Just upgraded them to windows 7.
The other thing is that there may have been an ad on the fiberglass rv site that was not loading properly. There are ad blocking programs that can help that (yes I know that the ads keep the site open).

Firefox user here, no problems with FGRV.

I think you have identified the prime suspect since the ads are targeting you, they are different for different members. I have seen "waiting for ....." and the laggard was an ad.

I had Firefox for many years and really liked it a lot. This past year it got so bad that I had trouble even using my computer. One of the problems was because i could not upgrade to the new version and I couldn't delete it to start over. I had trouble using this sight and many others. I had to put my computer in the shop to have it cleaned at that time I ask them to take it off,the tech guy said that a lot of people were having problems with the older versions.He suggested that I let him install the new one but I told him no.
I would suggest you try to delete what you have and start over with the new version or go to something different. mind you now,I am not a computer smart person and am NOT giving any advise just telling you I had problems and had it removed.

I don't think the problem was Firefox.
