回复： Browser Update - Please do not use Firefox 4 on the NI Forums due to compatibility issues

[Laura F.]

Hi Everyone -

For now, please refrain from using Firefox 4 with the NI Forums as the message editor is not compatible with this new browser.  Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8 continue to work fine, but Internet Explorer 9 must be used in compatibility mode. 

I apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. Lithium, our forum vendor is actively working to support these new browsers. As I learn more, I will keep you updated on a possible timeline for this browser support.

Regards,

I ues Firefox 4.0.

Safari 5.0.5 continue to work fine.

I'm assuming this only happens to some of the users, as I'm typing this in FF 4 and the editor looks fine (I see the cursor).

I also have been using FF4 since it came out and have not encountered any issues that I wasn't already seeing before FF4. So, I think the vendor blaming FF4 and/or IE9 is a bit of a stretch. But that's just my own personal opinion.

Can you load http://ni.i.lithium.com/skins/HEAD/32B709F80C716E1DFF4FFA721BEF1E7E/ni-1991929918.css  in Firefox 4?

Does the issue go away if you clear your cache?

Thanks,

Laura

I do not Load.........

After having a few problems when initially switching to FF4, I did manage to sort things out to work fine as I wrote here. It does load a different CSS file: http://ni.i.lithium.com/skins/HEAD/2FE0EFFF6E6FBD780EA62643FDB11B01/ni-1679482634.css

The issue appears (to me) to be the useragent which FF uses.  If this is reset to the default value, then things appear to work fine - the correct CSS file is loaded, and everything looks good.  But if FF has a different useragent setting, then Lithium obviously thinks it's a different browser, and tries to send the wrong files.

To reset the useragent, type about:config in the URL bar, and find the preference called general.useragent.override - right-click this preference and choose Reset.  I'd be interested to know if this works for other people too.

By the way, I had the same problems for a while with FF 3.6 as well, so it's not something that is restricted to FF4.

Cheers ~ Greg

OK!

Now, FF4 work well.

I still can't download PDFs from agilent but never noticed a problem with FF 4 on the forums! 

[RobertoBozzolo]

I have been using FF4 almost from its release and didn't find problems in my daily usage neither with the forums nor with other sites.

Nevertheless, I cannot load the pages linked both from Laura and Greg.

Unfortunately, I do not have the key posted by Greg in my browser config...
