Something has just recently been occuring concerning the use of the latest Firefox browser and geeklog sites. For example on your website, I initially access the the site without any issues, however when I logged in with my userid it came up with a blank page. If I use IE there are no issues.
Recently I added a new site with Geeklog 1.4r1, no issues with the configuration but when I tried to add a new story using the Firefox browser, like what I experienced on your site I came up with a blank page. If I log into my new site using IE, I can add a new story and it immediately comes up with the editor page for the new story.
Is it a configuration of Firefox?

Thanks,

Lee


UPDATE: Now when I try to log into my 1.4r1 site, it keeps going back to initial login screen. With IE it logs me in without any issues??

As a last resort... I rebooted my pc and believe it or not I was able to access the my 1.4r1 site, login, created a new story, etc without getting a blank screen!

I have also seen this on other applications not just with Geeklog. It has something to do with the META refresh code. For some reason, Firefox is not obeying the refresh to the new URL. I have seen this when I have had Firefox open for a long time and or I am using TABS within Firefox.

If you do a View Page Source on the blank page you will see the code for the meta refresh. Let me know if this is what you are seeing as well.

I got the following when I tried to logout:
"<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://bms-156.westchester-times.com/index.php?msg=8"></head></html>"

This when I tried to login:
"<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://bms-156.westchester-times.com/"></head></html>"

And this when I tried to edit & save a story:
"<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://bms-156.westchester-times.com/admin/story.php?msg=9"></head></html>"

IE continues to work without any issues...

Sounds like the well-known issue with Firefox 1.0.x when you have the advanced editor enabled. Please do a search for the workaround or upgrade to Firefox 1.5.

That seems to have fixed the problem.

Thanks!

If you have posted a ("Pragma: no-cache"); header before the refresh tag then it doesn't display even in FireFox 1.5
