I recently upgraded to FireFox 8 across the board on my computers. I’m running my gmail browser client off on my macbook and noticed that I was suddenly unable to view the contents of my emails when I clicked on them. Additionally perplexing was the fact that I could no longer send a chat message to anyone on my buddylist as the text field wouldn’t come into focus.

After testing in Chrome and finding gmail working I did a quick google and discovered this fix:

I solved my problem by Updating all subscriptions for AdBlock Plus Go to FireFox upper left
Add-Ons
Extensions
AdBock Plus Options
Filters
Update all subscriptions

I ran the AdBlock Plus subscription update and all my issues are gone. Happy emailing everyone! Let me know if this fix works for you as well.

If you have been checking out my site over the last few months you may have noted a slight theme change. The new theme is about 95% done, with minor tweaks planned as bugs are ironed out. The site has been tested in firefox 3.6.2, google chrome, safari, and internet explorer 6/7/8. Full support will be provided for these browsers with the exception of IE 6 and 7. IE 6 cannot render transparent png’s correctly, and its method of calculating distances is flawed, so the layout will not appear correct. This is a known issue and will not be resolved so please upgrade to a more modern browser. Besides, IE 6 has many security vulnerabilities that could leave your system compromised. IE 7 calculates some pixel related stuff incorrectly, so there may be 1px gaps in some images. This is a known issue, though I don’t know if I will have a fix for it. Everything else should look fine.

On to the new features. There is now a contact form if you with to contact me via email. I will respond within a day in most cases, so send your questions and/or comments there. If you are following me on twitter, my posting something should automatically update twitter now. In fact, this post is a test run for that new system. You can also receive email updates when I post if you use the sign-up form with feedburner over on the right side. A new feature is the knowledge base located in the top right header next to the section[31] link. The knowledge base will be populated with common questions I receive from friends/family/whoever, in order to build a repository of questions that can be quickly answered.
