When going to http://www.fx.dk The makers of Injoy dialer and several other premium OS/2 communications programs, I get the home page shown for about 1 second and then firefox cancels itself ! I am using Firefox/2 v 1.504 which has seemed very stable up until now.

If flash bits don't work I really don't care! I will view the site without them or if the site is unusable without flash stuff I will go elsewhere. ----------------------------------------- Brian Butler System Administrator brianb at kdfisher dot com dot au "Mike O'Connor" cc: Subject: Re: Problems accessing Injoy site with Firefox/2 28/07/2006 12:33 AM Please respond to os2genau brianb at kdfisher dot com dot au wrote: > Hi all, > I am having no trouble with the www.fx.dk site, > Running Warp 4 CP2, Mozilla 1.7.13, No Flash Plugin at all. > > ----------------------------------------- > Brian Butler > System Administrator > brianb at kdfisher dot com dot au > Hi Brian, That's my experience here with my systems (barely in commission), with eCS 1.x and W4FPx & MCPx, but apparently it's only those running FLASH on OS/2-eCS who are having problems, and even then I think it's only with versions later than Innotek's FLASH 5 - although it apparently doesn't happen with WinXX counterparts [?] -- Regards, Mike Failed the exam for -------------------- MCSE - Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert -------------------- [Please ZIP any attachments, other than GIF/JPG or plain-text] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 4 ==========================** Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 15:59:56 +0000 From: "Mike O'Connor" Subject: Re: Problems accessing Injoy site with Firefox/2 brianb at kdfisher dot com dot au wrote: > Hi Mike, > > As far as I am concerned Flash is just > bloatware eyecandy that the web could > well do without. > > If flash bits don't work I really don't care! > > I will view the site without them or if the site > is unusable without flash stuff I will go elsewhere. > > ----------------------------------------- > Brian Butler > System Administrator > brianb at kdfisher dot com dot au > Hi Brian, My exact sentiments precisely - though I have to admit it does have it's place - as in the current Version #2 of the eCS -DEMO -CD, where it really has a tremendous effect, except that if one takes the invitation to "view actual Screenshots", the quality of those faded-in, faded-out, ultra low-resolution, with JPG colour beed and illegible type, that anyone seeing the small (initial setting) Flash-player window, would automatically zoom it to see what it says, and it's so appalling, especially in contrast to the vector-graphics of the Flash "movie" that are still on-screen initially, that 100% of non-OS/2-eCS-users would be permanently put off any consideration of switching, or even trying it in parallel with their current platform. -- Regards, Mike Failed the exam for -------------------- MCSE - Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert -------------------- [Please ZIP any attachments, other than GIF/JPG or plain-text] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
