Firefox problems

[frankz]

I have the latest Firefox browser. For one week now it has not let me into HA it returns :-

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

I tried cleaning cookies and rebooting, no difference. Firefox is fine with all other sites.

Do I report it to Mozilla or is it a HA problem?

If you're using any extensions, try disabling them and restart. I'm using the latest version 3.6.13 now without any problem. You could also first backup your bookmarks, then delete out your profile folder. Then reinstall Firefox and restore bookmarks.

I do hope you have the Adblock Plus (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865/) and NoScript (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722/) extensions.

Hope this helps!

Don't ask for help, then act like you know better.
Coroner and Blazr63 were trying to tell you to disable the add-ons one-by-one, restart firefox, test on HA, re-enable, then move onto the next one.

It's called process of elimination. Once you figure out which add-on is causing site compatibility issues, you can find an alternative to replace it with... newbie.

GrimFussion I was replying to Coroners contrarie reply to my post. I wasn't asking for help. Process of elimination is a wonderful way of eliminating possible causes of a problem. Good to suggest it! However I would not do with out either of those addons. Especially for "Exotic Browsing" on sites like this one. Even innocent sites like school sites are not completely safe these days. I do not think the fault lies with FF or those addons. Remember anyone can put a link to an image from anywhere on this and other sites. some of them dont show, For example http://www.hungangels.com/vboard/showpost.php?p=844929&postcount=255 This post on the "Kissing pics" thread on my pc only shows 2 pics. There are 5 pics in the post though! 3 of those sites don't like "hot linking" from HA and serve up something else besides the image. I'm sure that in the case of those 3 other pics whatever is served by the sites in question is probably ok. But thats not to say that is the case always. That's the colour of my money anyway! Didn't think I'd have to mount a defence! This is the centre for friendly advise! Sine I used ABP to kill the adds on HA the problem hasnt returned. I also do not allow HA scripts, Not conclusive proof that that was solution but its something to start with! Have fun! O
