Firefox- cant view IIS attachments.

[Starkler]

Title says it all. Last two days clicking on attachments gives a page showing a side bar but just black where the picture should be, and no navigation bars for selecting from multiple attachments.

Anyone else having this issue or have an idea what could be happening?
TIA.

Geoff,

Firefox updated itself here two days ago all by itself.
Mine works fine, but I did notice some flash content that I couldn't
previously get to work, suddenly came to life ( a cartoon connection
online gaming site for my son).
Might be related.
Maybe try an update or re-update?

Now you have me thinking. Two days ago i gave into the nags and allowed flash to update itself.

Install flash block Geoff and allow the updates to install as usual, should fix your problems.

The issue has fixed itself. Cause unknown.
Thanks Steve and John.

A new development Geoff,

Tonight I was having trouble editing messages in the IIS thread editor.
It wouldn't cut and paste, edit etc...no cursor.

I tried in IE...same problem.

I did a scan with Spyware Doctor and found 5 high level trojans.
The description of those found mentioned browser hijackers.
I never visit any 'dodgy' sites so I don't know if these
are related to the Flash problem/ update thing with Mozilla.

After a scan and removal with Spyware Doctor...all fixed.

Strange

I've been having exactly the same problem. I wrote to Mike this morning about it.

I'm still having the same issues in Firefox...but IE appears to be working fine, which irks me since I'm not a big IE fan.

I am having similar problems when I hit the quote or reply button. Unable to type in the text box. But at least the quick reply works.
Might do a spyware scan today!

[matt]

Have now done a full check with both Spybot and Ad-Aware and the problem remains.

How bizarre.

I've read that a firefox auto-update went out the other day and several sites are experiencing problems like this.

Perhaps re-install a different version of firefox, or use Chrome.

Chrome is super fast and works perfectly.

Mike.....
Bite your tongue...please.
"Chrome"?
Only found on flashy cars & motorbikes 'n some trophys.

I have no probs with the new version of Firefox. The update was smooth, as per normal.
If you're having glitches & suss a virus/trojan etc,
then d/l & run...
Malwarebytes, > http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php
Super Anti Spy Ware, > http://www.superantispyware.com/
SpyWare Blaster, from Javacool Software, (< Runs in the background).

Flash probs are best handled by un-installing it with the Adobe "Un-installer"
(Maybe run it 2 or 3 times with everything closed), & d/l'ing the latest version from Adobe with whatever browser you prefer.
JIC/FWIW...There are diff Flash versions for diff browsers.

ps. Admit it....It's either Terry's or your fault. ;)

Not mojo, he is a minor god...:whistle:

BTW I have the damn problem as well, just another reason to not use firefox.... sorry firefox fans (or is it IE haters)....

[matt]

It's working fine again in Firefox:whistle:

[acropolite]

Downloaded and installed the latest flash problem solvered...

I had this same problem of not being able to reply in Quote mode.
Fixed problem by going in to User Control Panel in IIS and changing the
"Message Editor Interface" under Miscellaneous Options to "Standard Editor" and now works fine.
