Big List O' Shit Sites

...or sites that make Mozilla sad.

The linked page is list of sites that either actively prevent Mozilla browsers reading them or are so badly designed they just break totally or partially. Our old friend the Odeon site is of course in the list. Got any more?

I was having the same prob the other day so i deleted my cookies and hey presto it works now.

I haven't changed the code - but I do believe you may have come up against the 'finite amount of data stuck in a cookie' problem that I forecast some time ago - I'll have to have a poke and come up with a solution. Either that or stop people fscking commenting! ;)

Workaround - delete it and start your cookie afresh. It means have everything shown as new comments though until you read again.

I have encountered a few sites that don't work with Firefox. Off the top of my head here is one...
blink 182 [www.action-182.tk]

Wow - that's a weird one. Just throws the source back as text. I ownder if that's one of the wrong MIME type ones as mentioned in the list ie MIME type of the page is set for text, firefox knows that it is text coming and displays it as such rather than interpreting the HTML.

Or is I talking shite Merg?

I've got a 28 day expiry date on the cookie itself.

But I'm stuffing the cookie with lots of commentID, commentcount pairs - and I'm going to make that a triplet with a date for each count. I'll expire them after 28 days too with and delete them from the internal array. It'll mean the comment count on older pages will show as unread if you ever go back to the archives but we can live with that.

I'll do that at the w/e. Probably. :)

It doesn't repeat on mine. I think I have it as no-repeat which should do both x and y.

Time to upgrade to 0.93 maybe? :)

I got a repeat - on the Stuff post I got the repeat in the body of the post. Refreshed and it sorted itself.
