fellow mylotters firefox might be great for lots of tabs at the same time]
but it let me down this weekend. I thought it was mylot's fault and it
was not. I just went back to internet explorer and zoom zoom all my responses
loaded immediately. what is it with firefox and mylot? Has anyone else had
firefox not load your responses? Am I jinxed or something? I tried to trouble'
shoot but gave up. interested to know what others have or have not had troubles
with firefox.

Oh so pleased to see you got your problem sorted! thumbup

I use Internet Explorer for everything (except one click site) and I have no problems with it at all. It is quick to load and I much prefer it to Firefox.

So you will be Speedy Gonzales again right? rasplol


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

hi diana the print on this is a lot finer but heck I can live with that and yes I am once again speedy gonzales, right on. I have been so stressed my blood sugar stayed high as I pounded my fist and yelled load damn load please load and it just sat there. I even went into troublshooter for foxfire and the gobbledy g@@k was so complicated Ijust gaveup; glad my son kept internet explorer on here. wow.

Oh you can make the text bigger!

My browser has all the instructions in Italian and not in English but it's above this page at the left - third column -'view' (possibly something similar). Then in the drop down menu you can make the text bigger.

You can make the print bigger just by holding Ctrl and scrolling up with the mouse. (Make it smaller by holding Ctrl and scroll down) - at least you can on Firefox, but I don't know about IE.

I just tried posting using Google Chrome and it was a lot faster than when I was using Firefox. I haven't tried Internet Explorer, though. I'll try it later and see if it's faster or slower than Google Chrome. But I won't be using Firefox anymore, at least for posting on mylot.


myLot reputation of 88/100. angelajoy (947)   ranked 1,087 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

I've just been experimenting with Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox. And the verdict is.... Internet Explorer is the best for posting on mylot.


myLot reputation of 82/100. reeyan (423)   ranked 2,858 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

HI mysdianait

Why are you promoting INTERNET EXPLORER . Are you playing another role of brand ambassador? It is right that internet explorer is safe to use in many cases. But how can it be more fast than even an proxy server? Proxy server are just based on the grantee of fast browsing. May be some security reason it is weaker than internet explorer. I am not against the using of internet explorer..... but in fast browsing it can complete with all is not at all considerable.

Many factor may caused trouble in surfing internet. Not browser is the only cause of some haphazard situation. It depend on the configuration of the machine.... internet speed that we avail.....how busy is the site at the time we browsing...how long we are continuing in brousing that site......the RAM of the machine.

Considering all the measures we have to come to the concussion. Otherwise you are finding the wrong elsewhere and the wrong is some where else.

I think this is very big word come out from my small leap. I have to massage it with some Vaseline.


Happy mylotting.

myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

yes I have had that too, losing your response before you can post it,but not posting at all is even worse.what is with these browsers anyway? cannot someone
'make them so they do not louse up all the time? grrrr.

I used to love Firefox but it got REALLY slow a month or two ago, so I got Chrome. I love it! Only thing is, it can't do toolbars and so I have to open FF once a day to click my ads on TheBar!


myLot reputation of 88/100. angelajoy (947)   ranked 1,087 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

Hello Grandmaof2. I've experienced the same thing lots of times. I type long responses and then the posts don't go through and I lose them. I'm glad I saw this discussion because I didn't have a clue why I couldn't post properly. Now I know why.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  1 week ago

I found out just in time when my son was going to fix firefox that it was mylot all along, because I tried fire fox again and no problem so mylot admins did do somethiing to speed things along. now firefox is just fine.

I have not been on the internet much this weekend,but when i was on Mylot it did seem very slow to load and i have fire fox as well.So it was slower than normal so perhaps it was firefox.Happy Mylotting.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

yes it was firefox as internet explorer is letting me load my responses, a bit slow at times but at least it is working. i like firefox until this weekend never had a
problem loading. I am sure my computer expert son can fix the problem but i sure did not know how to do it so went back to IE

My tabs close and freeze up all the time now. I don't think it's doing it now but the recent firefox update took twice to update and then tree times after to say that it wasn't updating! I was confused as the screen came up that firefox always defaults when something has updated!

Mylot has had connection time out once or twice today though.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

hi somecowgirl I dont know why firefox does some of that stuff. but it
was working so well til this weekend. I wish I did know more about
computers like my son does so I could do more for myself. I do not
know how to get firefox to work again.


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (7909)   ranked 39 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

Ask your son to come over to help! I don't know that much about it myself so we usually have my husband's cousin help us when we need help with the computer! Of course he comes from another county so we pay him for the travel!


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

yes i even went intot the troubleshooter for firefox but after reading all the
various things i was so confused I just gave up and thought aha try IE and sure enought it wo rks. slow but it works.


myLot reputation of 99/100. SomeCowgirl (7909)   ranked 39 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

Troubleshooting is more trouble then it's worth... Maybe that's why they call it troubleshooting...

Your having TROUBLE understanding what's their saying that you keep saying SHOOT... lol.

Hi Hatley, why are you insisting on sending discussions about things I haven't got a clue about into my inbox. Why haven't I got one of these firefox things in place to stop you sending me this stuff. If I had it too I wouldn't be able to receive all these things about loading and zooming.

It's not mylot, most browsers are buggy these days. They are updating and it can really affect us users. Just limit your tabs with a maximum of 4 or 5 to avoid it. It may be your computer memory to and we need to upgrade it. I'm not really sure on your situation. I rarely experience that problem because I am mylotting in the office where my pc is high end for gaming. Hehehe


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

aha bubblepink you have us all beat as offices usually have the

Microsoft doesn't like sharing it's technologies. Programmers often only program sites to meet the needs of primary browsers (there might even be agreements with Microsoft, but I don't know), so sometimes one browser will be incompatible with a site when IE isn't. I know that online testing that I've done is programmed ONLY for Internet Explorer, so I have to get out of Chrome and switch over to IE to do the test. Which brings up this topic - have you tried Chrome? It uses tabs just like Firefox (so does IE, but you have to force it to do them, which is most annoying). It hasn't prevented me from using anything that I can recall, so I'd say it's got a wider acceptance by programmers than FireFox does (which is sad because FF is really a good browser). Chrome is made by Google, so you know that it has a good reputation.


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

hi jerzgirl I have heard a lot of good things about Chrome so will ask
'my son about that when he comes to see me Wednesday afternoon. for]
now Internet explorer is at least wor king to let me post things
and that is more than firefox did.

I have used Firefox for mylot, but right now, I am using Opera. I think it loads much faster than the Firefox or Internet Explorer. I got tired of Internet Explore locking up os much, that I just don't use it all that much, only when I can't get to a site on Firefox or Opera. I have found that Opera works really well with the ptc sites, as IE locks up on them a lot, and have to start them over. I get tired of that too. IE has lots of flaws, and just not as safe as Firefox or Opera would be. It has lots of holes in it. But for those that like IE, go for it, as it probably works okay for some people anyway. Good luck to you and happy mylotting. happy


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

hi rosekiss I was just plain stuck and could not get firefox to let me
'load so had to go back to Internet explorer.up to this weekend have
had no trouble with firefox and loved having all the tabs open. my son
can undoubtedly fix it when he comes to see me Wednesday.

fwidman I only went back to Internet Explorer as a last resort as I could not'
fix whatever problem firefox is having,it seems it is firefox's problem not
'mylot as all the rest of you seem to not be having this hangup on loading
responses and comments. it just stopped and would not load at all. I am
sure my son can fix whatever it is that caused firefox to do that.

I have had some problems too, but didn't notice the responses not loading. The only time firefox acts up for me, is when I try to post a story or comment on something already posted. The page doesn't go in to the "tags" part of the site. Hopefully mylot is aware of it


myLot reputation of 85/100. Hatley (20099)   ranked 1,580 out of 32,322 in mylot.com  3 weeks ago

hi geminikid I sent several messages to Mylot admins so if there is some
trouble on their part they would check backit seems to me it is my firefox\
browser that is at fault now so am back to the old internet explorer for
the time being anyway. my son i am sure can fix the firefox problem.
