See previous post from Terry on how they appear when using IE and FF
Safari (3993)
310316 2005-01-04 07:17:00 The UK site of course,

sal.neoburn.net

310317 2005-01-04 07:24:00 Using Firefox and viewing the amazon .uk versus the .com site, there is a difference with how the images are displayed. If you go to Preferences > Web features > Load Images and remove the tick from beside "for the originating site only" and then refresh the .uk site, you will find the images now display. It must be how .uk has their images linked. Jen (38)

Jen has just solved your problem Terry.
It was pointing to something like that as has already been mentioned there are very few sites that have a problem with FF
You might now be able to enjoy it more but if you still have problems consider that it could be some configuration on something else on your system

310319 2005-01-04 07:56:00 Oh fantastic Jen, and Safari. That's great, not only are all the Amazon sites now working properly in FF, but images on another site I go to load now even though it is the originating site.
I hadn't thought of twiddling with that setting.

I will now reduce the 'zillion' sites to maybe a handful. I must check Ebay and Paypal too, they gave me problems with Firefox. :)

Likewise... displays fine here.

The other site mentioned (live365.com) has it's own custom IE plugin for playing the media they provide, however they allow you to choose from a list of external players when you use another browser:

firefox is the wicked.


That is all.


Thought i might revisit the above post,Seems it may have ruffled a few feathers amongst those that ride high horses, The description was of me (which should have been obvious, who else would it be describing) Perhaps some people should read the thread before mounting up, and preaching judgement from the mount about those who follow up a post with a "non sequitur"

310322 2005-01-04 08:07:00 Another site that doesnt work correctly (for me) with Firefox is Live365.com.
Their 365 player is designed for IE only. Now this doesnt worry me too much since I subscribe and run their Radio 365 VIP player which is browser independent.

You don't have to use their Radio 365 player.
You can listen to Live365.com using players such as RealPlayer, Winamp, Sonique, MusicMatch, or Windows Media Player.
You can also use any MP3 player, even iTunes, very smart you should try it.

:lol: :lol: :lol: You know I had to look up the word to figure out what he was trying to say. Even after a quick search it still doesn't make sense. I don't know why people insist on using unusual words. All it does is make people waste their time and visit dictionary.com. If no-one understands what you are trying to say, what's the point of posting it in the first place? People will just glance over your post and ignore you. :)

Loads fine for me, took a screen shot but won't bother as Metla has posted his.

It's a handy feature to have Jen, can this be done with security levels in IE? I darn't look, I might become beguiled by IE's charms ;)

Anyway, it seems Amazon UK or the parent company is trying to save a little on disk space. Thanks to the promiscuity of IE it still displays fine for the majority of users, and, there's no need to suffer the pox as long as you keep taking the antibiotics.
