Mobileread and Firefox

AprilHare · 10-29-2015, 05:56 PM

Has anyone noticed that the arrows on the Mobileread menus (User CP, E-Books, ..) disappear on Firefox? I am using Firefox 41.0.2.

eschwartz · 10-29-2015, 06:02 PM

I've never seen arrows on the User CP menuitem. Even on the rare occasion I use Chrome.

The arrows are still there for me on Firefox 41.0.2

JSWolf · 10-29-2015, 06:23 PM

Firefox 41.0.2 here and I do see the arrows.

I see the arrows on Chrome.

It is intermittent.
Did not mean to imply User CP or Logout have arrows at any time.

Works here, Firefox 42.

HarryT · 10-30-2015, 05:49 AM

Works fine for me. Firefox 41.0.2 on Windows 7.

Screenshot. Note it can be seen on PC and Mac Firefox.
Not seen in Chrome.

AprilHare, I might have figured this out.

I have NoScript installed as an add-in in my Firefox browser. I blocked the script "ajax.googleapis.com", and all the arrows in that header disappear. Allowed "ajax.googleapis.com", and they came back.

I have noticed over the years that I have to allow certain scripts to run on MobileRead.com (and they're not always the same ones as time goes by). There was something about 4dots that I used to have to allow to get it to work right.

I'm not running NoScript, however maybe this may lead to solution?

Nice job! I'm running NoScript on Firefox (Windows 7 and Ubuntu) and that trick works for me!

Are you running any other ad-blocker or script-blocker?

AprilHare · 10-31-2015, 05:38 AM

I have Adblock Plus, disabling does not make a difference.

eschwartz · 11-01-2015, 12:12 AM

I've used Adblock Plus and Ghostery for a long time now, and never had this problem

they tend to be conservative and block known bad things.

NoScript is a bit of a hardcore approach -- and you'd better expect any site that doesn't work to most likely be your fault.

@AprilHare, try using the Site Inspector to see what is loading.

Create a fresh profile in Firefox and run Firefox using that profile. If you find the arrows work, then there is something in the profile you are using that needs to be fixed.

Go to the help menu and Restart with Add-ons Disabled. This will start Firefox in safe mode. If it fixes it some add-on or extension was causing the issue.
