Downloading MS sets with Mozilla Firefox

[nicomax]

I installed Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 a couple of days ago because I'm sick of IE. Everything has been great except when I try to download sets at MS. The password seems ok but I never get the save box that I use to get using IE.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

check your popup blocker settings.

Tools, Options, Web Features, Allowed Sites (next to Block Popups), and add www.mercurynation.com to the list.

Thanks, that was it...

Wait, seems like that was not the problem. I've also tried disabling the whole pop-up blocker and still don't get it. Any other ideas?

[picklemonkey]

do you see the popup window appear?

After putting the password and clicking ok, the window refreshes and gets stuck saying "Transfering data from 127.0.0..." at the bottom left.

are you connecting to the net via a proxy or through another computer on your home network?

I'm connecting through a Wireless Modem (Linksys)

you've never had this problem with Internet Explorer?

Try this:

1. right-click on your Firefox shortcut and go to properties.
2. In the Target field, add /P to the end after the quotes. It should look something like this:
   "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /P
3. Click OK
4. Run the Firefox shortcut that you just changed
5. Click the Create Profile button
6. Click the Next button
7. Type Test as the profile name and click Finish
8. Single-click Test and click the Start Firefox button.

Log in to MercuryNation and try downloading a set. Let me know if this works. Also follow the first step to remove the /P.

Sjould the Create Profile button appear within the Properties window of the Fire Fox shortcut? I can't find it...

Thank you much for the help picklemonkey

[picklemonkey]

sorry. I updated the instructions above.

Re: Downloading MS sets with Mozilla Firefox

I followed the instructions and tried to download again with no luck. I noticed that in options the block pop-ups was selected so I tried disabling it, but still wouldn't work.

Hope you still have some ideas, thanks again.

:?

I don't know what else to try. the steps i had you go through above would have given you a fresh, vanilla firefox configuration. it should've worked...

does it work with Internet Explorer? sounds like an issue with something outside of firefox... like your hosts file or something
