Photos on website open in Safari but not Firefox - Why? - h linamen - 06-26-2008
I am constructing our church website using iWeb and have published it to a dot mac address. The photo page opens fine and runs the slide show in Safari browser, but photos are missing if I access in Firefox. I have had several folks open it fine also on their window machines. But, I need to determine the problem with Firefox before I make it available to the general public. Any thoughts what might be the problem with Firefox?

I'm having the same problem. Youtube thumbnails don't show (mostly) in firefox.

For the life of me, I don't know why people prefer Firefox. I have MANY more problems with it than with Safari.

Different people have different systems. I have a MacPro, with 5 gigs of RAM. Safari would crash daily on my machine, requiring Force Quits. It did this under 10.4.x, 10.5, 10.5.1, and 10.5.2. WebKit is a little better, but still unstable. Emptying the cache and resetting Safari is no help.
Your experience may be different. But if you're curious why I prefer Firefox, that'd be why.

OK, I see why you would use it. In my work with schools, when we use Safari, we don't typically have trouble, but with Firefox we always do. At one school, we have trouble with both of them, and there I figured out that we can use Camino. Don't know why, but a solution is a solution!

Clear your browser cache.

hal..... thanks for the information. The patch for iWeb at macfixit corrected the problem with Firefox displaying pictures.
