| G | how this seems like a great place to ask, anyone here had issues accessing the ASB site since the FF 8 update a while back? | 23:22 |
| ojwb | just give me your login details and I'll take a look fot you | 23:28 |
| G | ojwb: well even just accessing the asb.co.nz homepage | 23:31 |
| * ojwb doesn't have FF8 so can't easily check | 23:31 | |
| ojwb | there's a good chance someone will | 23:31 |
| G | ojwb: fair enough | 23:31 |
| kcj | G, I see the problem. | 23:32 |
| G | kcj: it happens for you? Directs to their mobile site, and the click to their full site is broken? | 23:32 |
| kcj | Yep. | 23:32 |
| G | (believe it to not, I told ASB about it over a month ago) | 23:34 |
| kcj | G, Found a solution. | 23:34 |
| kcj | G, Install a user agent switching addon and switch your user agent to IE 9. | 23:35 |
| G | kcj: yeah exactly | 23:35 |
| G | kcj: I got fed up though (cos I don't really like running addons etc) and this time send them a message via Fastnet, "Regrettably, ASB does not support the Ubuntu operating system. I am sorry." (although he said say he was going to forward it again to the ones that manage the site, so that is something | 23:37 |
| kcj | Lame. | 23:38 |
| kcj | Why do you use firefox if you don't like add-ons? | 23:38 |
| * ojwb prods his partner to see if she has a suitable windows FF at work | 23:39 | |
| G | ojwb: oh it works in Windows | 23:39 |
| ojwb | ah | 23:39 |
| ojwb | quality | 23:39 |
| ojwb | that's ASB on the blacklist then | 23:39 |
| G | fwiw: http://dev.nigelj.com/user-agent-change | 23:39 |
| G | all I can see that has changed it, is that the "Ubuntu;" added before X11 | 23:40 |
| G | kcj: in answer to your question: FF Sync (between installations/computers/etc etc), when needed (which atm it is on one of my installations the addons like Firebug are pretty darn good), and I get good mileage out of it | 23:44 |
| ojwb | firefox addons do sometimes seem to make it less stable | 23:45 |
| ojwb | though it's hard to actually know what crashed it | 23:45 |
| kcj | The only thing that's keeping me on FF is the add-ons. | 23:47 |
| kcj | Otherwise I'd be using Chrome. | 23:47 |
| G | I still don't like Chrome | 23:48 |
| ojwb | the process separation is nice, but I think FF has that too now | 23:48 |
| G | ojwb: Chrome's separation is iirc per tab, where as FF's is 'firefox' and 'plugin-container' | 23:49 |
| ojwb | oh, that's a lot less good | 23:49 |
| G | but it means if Flash/Java/etc get a bit pushy, you can just kill the plugin-container | 23:49 |
| ojwb | chrome is per tab for a while, and at some point it seems to put more than one tab in each process | 23:49 |
| ojwb | but a tab dying doesn't kill the browser, just the tab itself and maybe a few others | 23:50 |
| ojwb | I don't run flash or java plugins, so they don't get a chance to take the browser down | 23:50 |
| ojwb | i suspect java is only useful if you have a particular application which needs it now | 23:50 |
| ojwb | i've not hit a site which seemed affected by lack of java for years | 23:51 |
| G | I have, but that is partly because I've wanted to use them and knew full well I'd need Java, so not a great example ;) | 23:51 |
| kcj | Java is good for Minecraft. :) | 23:53 |
| G | kcj: anyway, thanks for confirming that it wasn't just me | 23:54 |
| kcj | np | 23:55 |
