OLC in Firefox?
In recent weeks/months I can load an OLC flight page OK in my off-beat
browser (Pale Moon), but if I open the page in Firefox it never shows me the map of the flight, it forever says "Please wait, loading in progress..." in that part of the page. But it does show the text info of the flight. Must be something in the Firefox settings or add-ons? I have an ad-blocker add-on, but telling it to leave the OLC pages alone does not help. Firefox used to display OLC pages OK some months back, before I foolishly allowed it to "upgrade" to a newer version. Anybody have the same issue? (No, I won't use Chrome...) |

Possibly, clearing the browser cache might help. It seems other browsers need this once in a while; eg, recently Chrome would not display the FAA SUA map it was happy to show me for two years, but cleared the cache and all is well again. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |

The only annoyance Firefox has produced recently is to restart after a shutdown with a list of the last 'n' URLs accessed along the top - with any non-local reference refuses to open. Delete the lot and FF immediately shuts down, but at least after that it can be started with your default home page showing. My main browser is now Brave, which by and large does just what you expect. -- -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

I do have a couple of beefs with Brave: - my current version, 1.18.78 has taken to pop up a white 'Auto play media - Block|Allow' message at the top of the screen. This appears in YouTube pages and on sites, such as my gliding club, which shows a timelapse sequence of the airfield. I find it irritatng because so far its always triggered by images I want to see and it can't be disabled or be given a list of URLs that it shouldn't trigger on. - more annoying is the fact that, although it can be set as the default browser it seems to be unable to fully reclaim this setting after either Firefox has been temporarily given it and then switched back to Brave. However apart from the 'Auto play' thing, I like it a lot. -- -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |

OLC in Firefox?
The majority of inexplicable, impossible bugs reported to me on websites I've made are eventually tracked down to overzealous privacy browsers/ad-blockers/antivirus blocking legitimate web functionality silently (for example, WebGL) that could theoretically be used for tracking/advertising.
You will end up seeing a slower, more broken web everywhere you browse, and you'll not likely realize it's due to your browser. If you feel you must go down this route I recommend what I use, which is Chrome and uBlock Origin - even still l have to semi-frequently disable uBlock when I find a button that won't press or a form that won't submit on a government website or similar.

Matt, thanks for this hint! I seem to get this sort of problem a lot more recently. I will disable uBlock then. |
