No flags [OBSOLETE]

Post by dave_s » Mon Feb 13, 2012 3:01 pm

Since upgrading to 4.1.12 from 4.1.10 all I ever see for a flag is a two piece blue thing and clicking shows the correct domain and "offline mode" What gives?

Firefox is in offline mode then, however if you can still go to webpages then you've got something quite broken. Troubleshoot your extensions. (read here, #5)

All browsing works. Flagfox 4.1.10 worked. Disabling all other extensions makes no difference. Installing Flagfox into a new profile still claims it is offline.

There also seems to be a problem in that if I go to add-ons and search for Flagfox and click install the download never happens. If I go to the home page and click install it installs.

I have re-installed Flagfox several times and it still says offline.

I just tried on my wife's machine. She was on Firefox 8.0.1 and Flagfox 4.1.11 Running find updates it showed FF 4.1.12 Clicking update and it adds a 4.1.12 item that will be installed after restart - the previous version is still shown.as needing update. Restarting and all the same - both version are shown and both say they will be effective after a restart. The *only* way I have found is not to update but to disable the previous version, then remove it and then go find the latest. The flags are working on my wife's box so I would like to know what you suggest to track down what is screwed on mine.

EDIT: I just realised that I have not told you I am on Firefox 10.

As this still is not working here I decided to poke around, and a bit of Googling suggests that window.navigator.online does not work in all browsers and versions thereof. - So as I never work offline I have commented out the "if (!window.navigator.online)" section. I now have the flags back. Google also suggests using a more generic method to determine online status - like trying to download something.
