Iceweasel/Firefox profiles
in [Debian]
|
From: Barry Samuels on 13 Jul 2010 11:40 Using up to date Iceweasel on Debian Testing. I have noticed that in Iceweasel/Firefox after setting up a new profile I start to lose functionality after some months of use. For example I find now that some graphics are no longer displaying whereas they used to display. If I go to http://www.openstreetmap.org I see the map window together with a zoom control but there is no map. If I view the same page using a new clean profile I do see the map. This happens with some graphics but not all. I have disabled all the installed add-ons to no effect. The strange thing is that my wife's computer uses the same browser on the same operating system and she doesn't have any such problem. I'm getting a little fed up at having to start a new profile when this happens. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. -- Barry Samuels http://www.beenthere-donethat.org.uk The Unofficial Guide to Great Britain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I too have a problem with graphics on Iceweasel. I had not tried creating a new profile. Frankly, the easiest way to deal with the problem has been - use another browser. I don't use Iceweasel very much anyway. But it would be nice to have a solution, all the same. And I may try to use a new profile to see whether it solves the problem (even if pro-tem). Lisi Sorry, Barry. I am still not consistently pressing L instead of clicking. I have not until recently had this problem. Something somewhere has obviously changed. :-( -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I don't remember the precise setting but I had to change a setting using 'about:config" . Something must be flipping a config option for images., afaikt. -- Greg Madden Precision Air Balance, Inc.
