It used to work on this particular site, but no more.

Here is the site in question.....

There is a reason for this, www.worldofbabes.co.uk along with http://www.britishsoapbabes.com and http://www.kaleycuoco.co.uk are my sites, recently another forum decided to hotlink direct to the image pages without consultation, this caused me a loss of bandwidth with noone actually going to my pages which resulted in a loss to me.

Therefore I had to redo the pages to disallow direct linking, any hits which go to the image page with no referer will automatically redirect you to the home page where normal service will resume.

Apologies if this is inconvienient to you but needs must I'm afraid

Its worth pointing out while its been released there are reviews which speak of bugs still to be fixed within 2/3 weeks...I've been using the RC version with no issues till today when that youtube issue with the white screen of death appeared which is a flash issue...


Firefox 4 now available

By Paula Rooney | March 22, 2011, 7:09am PDT


"The team plans to ship out a quick fix patch code named “Anteater” within the next two weeks if necessary. Then, a “Macaw” update is expected two to three weeks from today that will incorporate other fixes discovered during the first month of use."

Just the fact that 3 out of 10 add-0ns as yet have not been tested for compatibility
says to me they've issued it half baked

A couple of weeks after the RC version was released

Doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me if the idea of alpha/beta/RC testing is to end up with a fully working version thats ready to go

For those of you who uses LiveJournal, this is your friend and is FF 4.0 compatible.

will help to show if your graphics card drivers are out of date for the browser's hardware acceleration.

GPU hardware acceleration is the short-term Holy Grail for modern browsers because it allows them to leverage high-powered graphics cards to give the browser an edge in rendering complicated in-site graphics faster.

The current stable release of Chrome 10 only offers partial hardware acceleration, while Internet Explorer 9 won't work on Windows XP precisely because of the hardware acceleration hang-up.

In my experience when i was using FF4 popundrs were still making their way through
I expect when they change their tactics as they always do you'll need the add-on below
or a combination of others mentioned with in the thread below

You can use the NoSquint add-on to adjust text size on a per-site base.

I'm still using FF 3.6 but according to their website it also works with FF 4 and FF 5

The fanboys are posting yes and no reviews like this one

As to the truth...imagehostgrabber is incompatible due to the security upgrades
about the only downside from my point of view...guess how many times it crashes over the next few days will tell the tale

4. It Sports 1000 Improvements

It's actually more than 1000 improvements and performance enhancements that have been included in Firefox 5. They may not all be huge, noticeable user-interface changes, but they definitely make the software better.

The Android version of Firefox 5, meanwhile, includes a raft of bug fixes, improved page load speeds--especially on 3G networks--and added IPv6 support.you give with one hand and take with the other

Curious given IHG 1.6.5.4 on its add-on page says - Not available for Firefox 5.0
Works with Firefox 1.5 - 4.0.*

When i checked using the compatibility add-on the only extension brought up that wouldnt work and indeed was disabled was IHG which I only downloaded a week ago.

When you try and install the add-on it simply stops with an error message incompatible
