if we get different routine for different product that will push a internet where "who pay get better performance" ??


Not relevant at all. It's always been the case that websites often use browser detection code both for bad (commercial) reasons but also to determine what mode of their site it should render because of different requirements.


sorry i do not agree, i really doub that google do filtering on webbrowser detection and reject fX queries, because for now my solution is to use yahoo in place of google (beacuase i hate IE !!), i see more the problem at ISP level like your suggested in my post.

Can timeouts be overridden?

Post by pikex7 »

Sorry this is rather a basic question and may be nothing to do with Firefox - but I ask anyway in the hope that somebody can give me an idea. With my firewall (Outpost) I can block ads from sites - for example on ebay I get a timeout message to ebay.doubleclick.net. So my question :- is there any way in Firefox (or other) that I can suppress the timeout messages without allowing the ads. For example it would be nice if it blocked the ads once and then did not try again.
I have been using Firefox for 6 months now and I like it very much.

I have a problem like these.

In my case, I connect any site, but, only one (www.scielo.br), I cant access!

I use Debian Sarge Linux, Firefox 1.0.4 pt_BR and IPTables.

NOTICE: I access all sites, except www.scielo.br

What I do to solve this problem???

This site is very important for me.

I am in a lan.

# traceroute www.scielo.br
traceroute to scielo.bireme.br (200.6.42.6), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

7 scielo.bireme.br (200.6.42.6) 15.548 ms 13.058 ms 13.297 ms

Any helps??

Thanks

Marcelolaia - might have been better to start a new thread (get more notice) but that site opens fine for me (although as I'm not a subscriber I obviously can't read any of the papers). Your traceroute report also appears to show the site is working.

Therefore, you need to check on anything in your computer that might somehow block that site. Have you for example
  • made sure to allow all the cookies required in firefox
  • checked your HOSTS file in case it has become blocked in there
  • checked settings for any firewall or adware type software you have
  • checked your router configuration
  • checked any other configs that the lan might have
I don't know how to do any of this stuff, I just hire the guys that do
Have you considered reading the HELP folder. Right there on your menu bar.

If it works in IE and not in mozilla on one computer how is it not a problem that mozilla
would want to get rid off. It is things like this that will put average users off switching their browsers

I've had the same problem, with Firefox -- Times out accessing certain websites (and not just the sketchy one, I've noticed that it happens on Yahoo.com a lot). I downloaded an extension for Firefox called IE View. After it fails in Firefox, I right click, select "view this page in IE" - hit the same link that just didn't work, and i'm there. The downside is that you're then at the mercy of Internet Explorer. So I think it is a Firefox problem, NOT the DNS (I have the problem at home and work, on different DNS nameservers) or your router.

Hi'yall

I found this thread in a google search. My problem is that FX intermittently decides that a certain site cannot be found. I have links on my desktop and opening a new browser with a link gives me the "cannot be found" message about 50% of the time. If I refresh, I have been getting about a 10% error rate. Then business as usual for that site.

Very strange. I found this recently..

the post of interest is titled "Speed-up Firefox through pipelining".. about 1/3 down the page. .. The fix suggested did not work for me.
