f we don't want to debug it that's one thing but to simply dismiss it and say its a conflict, that's just tacky. Here's something you can do to debug it. Configure a bogus DNS server that will swallow queries with 0 response (neither UDP nor ICMP), this (74.125.67.100) google ip works for this purp...

Now that I understand this problem, it can be reproduced with any iframe by blocking it in hosts, for example betanews.com, add 127.0.0.1 adserver.adtechus.com to hosts and ABE will block it resulting in the offline mode error. And one other thing, since the culprit is ABE blocking, you can turn off...

I'm sorry, I can't reproduce it, nor could therube , so I don't how to be of any assistance. Strongly suspect another extension. I found the missing ingredient, I have adultfriendfinder.com in my hosts file mapped to 127.0.0.1: 127.0.0.1 adultfriendfinder.com www.adultfriendfinder.com and the defau...

Understood, I'll probably turn off ABE in Fx2, so it's somewhat moot, but do you want future ABE + 1.8.1 bug reports, like this, for instance?

ABE causes Fx2 to perform dns queries synchronously on the ui thread, so a long running and failing query locks up the ui.

Could you explain that in terms that I might be able to understand?

firefox waits for the DNS lookup to complete and does not process user input while it's waiting

I still can't get the ad, because adultfriendfinder is in my hosts file numerous times the idea is not to get the ad, I'm blocking it too with hosts and noscript untrusted, but to see the offline mode error, can you try the instruction from the first post, on a new Fx2 profile ideally: ⋅ ...

ABE seemingly causes Fx2 to perform dns queries synchronously on the ui thread, so a long running and failing query locks up the ui.

Ran into another "offline mode" error in an ad iframe. Fx2, NS1.9.7, ABE (works fine with ABE off)

In other words, among the elements you listed, only <script> and <embed> are reasonably sincere, and yet for <embed> you may need to sniff if the user allows Java and forbids Flash, for instance. Very clear explanation, thank you. ___________________________ It's not a big deal, and I'll drop it, b...

That's the Partially Allowed Subcontent Icon Quoting from the features page m this means the top level site is still forbidden but some active subcontent pieces (either frames or plugin objects) are allowed: some code may be running, but the page is likely not to work correctly yet because its main...

it hits the network but doesn't download more than the HTTP headers and anyway prevents content processing I wasn't aware that these aborted requests were happening and sometimes even needed (content sniffing). Is it not possible to associate a given request with the html element that spawns it (if...

With regard to your conversation with al_9x , do I understand that NS 1.9.5 on Fx 2.0.0.20 *will* perform all NS-blocking with 100% safety and effectiveness? My interpretation of Girogios reply (look at last paragraph) is is that post 1.9.5 changes that introduced the gecko 1.8.1 bugs were exclusiv...

Can you check latest development build 1.9.6.96? Both are fixed. I saw a new icon overlay in this build, a little plus in the bottom right corner: http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/2434/59763377.png , what does it mean? to see it (Fx2): 1) go to http://www.betanews.com/ 2) mark adtechus.com as untru...

Just want to make sure I understood, you adjusted NS to the latest 1.8 gecko used by Seamonkey, presumably, which broke Fx2.0.0.20 which uses an older 1.8 gecko? Is that right? Yes, it's correct. The adjustment was made for Gecko 1.8.1.x, and therefore affects both Fx 2.0.x and SM 1.1.x. I am still...
