Title: Firefox and Streetmap problem
Post by: renluop on November 27, 2010, 08:14:48 PM
The two used to work perfectly  but the maps no longer appear.

Streetmap has this advice

Quote
In FireFox the setting is in Tools> Options> Web features.

Trouble is I cannot see "Web features" anywhere.

Help please :'(

Sorry, I know it's not much help, but it works fine here too, using FF 3.6.14pre on Linux. I don't know what they mean by "web features" either.

Just a thought    ...  in the same content panel on  Options  .... have you got Load Images Automatically ticked ?   ....    I use Firefox on Windows XP   ... I've just tried the Street- maps site and the maps load fine for me  ...

Fine for me using FF 3.6.12


And looking on my road I see all the snow has gone.  :D

Just adding to Scottiesmums advice,have you got the 'enable Javascript' box ticked.

I don't have 'load images automatically' ticked and it works fine for me.

Yep :)

I've just run off something about latest Flash 64 bit compatibility. I have Win7 64bit.... quite a read to go through.

The "Load images automatically" button has an "Exceptions" button beside it. Maybe some of you have entries in the Exceptions section?

This problem can be caused if you have the extension "Flashblock" installed........don't know if you have.. :-\

NO exceptions in load images; flash blocker not installed. FF add-ons lists three Java Console versions.

I have found that the site loads properly with the IE extension. Could be a solution! Am I right to think there is/was a facility to make a site always load in IE ? :-\ No can find.

Uninstall FF>reboot>Download FF > Install FF .
