FireFox Browser with dishnetwork.com

[mdonnelly]

Is anybody else having problems with dog slow response times when using FireFox at the dishnetwork.com home page and login screen? This just started yesterday, and it bugs the crap out of me. IE6 is still as fast as it used to be.

It bothers me that a fair number of sites still aren't working cleanly with Firefox

It offers a superior browsing experience, and yet many content developers won't make the effort to check their site with Firefox. Arrggh.

The home page itself doesn't display correctly if you try to browse through it. I don't login to my account very often and I have to use IE for that.

Cheers,

Just logged in from the front page with FireFox 1.5.01 and response was fine.

Hmmm. Must be something wrong with my settings. Still, all my other pages load the same as before.

Try starting FF in Safe mode (found in Start menu/Firefox) and see if that helps, if it does help, then you may have a FF extension behaving badly.

Thanks for the tip. That did help display the home page correctly, and quickly. I removed the Talkback extension, and updated the Adblock extension, and things are working better now.

Using and up to date version?

Also check this out. http://www.totalidea.com/freestuff4.htm Easy to use program to tune firefox as it can have more connections to the internet than IE. You can over load Dial-up quickly with to many connections.

Firefox will not load all the Dish support pages correctly. I just switch over to I.E. when Firefox balks.
