Gallery Viewing Issue in Firefox on Mac OS X 10.5.8

420 · May 23rd, 2010, 04:17 AM

This is only happening in Firefox on my Mini Mac, when I go into the gallery section of a specific letter or number. If there's more than one page in the gallery list area, and I click on any other page besides the first page, I get redirected back to a randomized gallery list. I'm using a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 with the latest version of Firefox. I checked on my PC using Firefox and everything was fine and I checked on my Mac using Safari and everything was fine there too. It's only happening in Firefox on my Mac.

Here are couple before and after screenshots of what I'm talking about.

Unable to View Photos in Gallery on Mac OS X 10.5.8

As posted in the last thread since I am not able to test anything on a mac I would have the same question is this all sites or just yours. That would tell me whether its a code issue or a browser bug.

It's only happening on my site.

Okay if everyone elses site works and its only yours them possible your using old code.

Try upgrading to 7.02

If it was everyones site then I would tend to lean towards a browser issue.

I'm afraid to upgrade to the version you just launched a day ago, because every time we upgrade, we have a whole new set of problems and unlike you being able to fix them yourself, we have to pay programmers to fix them.

So you are saying that Photopost as a company does not support using your products on Mac at all? You have no way of testing on Macs in your entire company? Is this correct?

Our "entire company" is a handful of people, Rob. Until recently, I've never owned a Mac; so, no, the product wasn't tested on every browser on every platform - although we did extensive testing for XHTML compliance.

That's what we needed to know, thanks.

Very unfortunate that we must begin searching for a new gallery solution as a large part of the world uses Mac.

Thanks for your reply Michael.

Just a little clarification on that statement there as I try and deal with facts. MAC sales historically have not changed much regardless of sales or advertisements etc. MAC computer sales are fifth largest in the US with about 7.6% to be the exact figure in sales of computers. Worldwide the percentage gets even less than the 7.6%.

Your issue really has nothing to do with MAC. Infact your issue is only with one browser version in MAC as you have said other browsers work in MAC. I would personally suggest you pass your findings onto the Firefox support people so they may plug that browser issue in there next release. Thats the sure fire way to get things fixed. There is little we can do to fix true browser bugs.
