After updating Firefox as well as all add-ons I can't load any of the gps-tracking sites at http://www.tulospalvelu.fi/gps/. The maps starts loading and stops anywhere between 8 and 75%...

I don't hav a clue what might be wrong since the site works fine at my "older" PC with older plugin add-on and browser versions...

There seems to be a similar problem with routes at http://www.swiss-orienteering.ch/binperl/reitti.cgi

Those two sites use a Java applet to display the maps.

It works for me with Java 6 update 35. I don't have Java 7 installed, so I don't know if the applets work with the version.

Do the Java test pages confirm that Java is working?

Also check that you haven't set the plugins.click_to_play pref to true on the about:config page as that can cause problems with some plugins.


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

You're welcome.

Do you mind telling us what was wrong for you and how you fixed it?

It can help others who read this thread because they also have this problem.
