Also seen on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040725
Javascript console shows many warnings, seems to be buggy js, not layout.

this time Win98SE on another machine, and a younger nightly. Seems that
document.all support got it working. I get only 4 warnings, all the same, two
before and two after that info:

Non-standard document.all property was used. Use W3C standard
document.getElementById() instead.

The site is broken as in comment 0 with FF 0.9.1 and Moz 1.7.1.

But even if I tried browser.dom.document.all.disabled = true with 1.8a3 the site
works. Strange.

-> Tech-Evang/German?

Attachment: 49kb screenshot

the top ad is loaded twice, disturbing the layout. there is nothing loaded
besides this block of ads.

I created a new profile, closed browser, went offline.
Started browser, added de-de to languages, that the language matches my IP
geographic region, checked that cookies/images/popups/javascript were fully
enabled, and started that website, as first URL loaded into this fresh profile.


to no avail, bug still shows on
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040730

Windows is original windows98, SP1 added later.

resolved the problem outside of Mozilla:

How To Block Ads (& Web Bugs) Without Extra Software

Adding a 202kb sized hosts file from there to my windows directory is blocking
download of nearly any ad. I just disable that by renaming it, when I want to
test something. That is no spyware, just a plain textfile, listing URLs to be
blocked. Applies to Windows, Linux, Unix and others, see documentation on the
website.

Can anybody tell me how to see this website without blocking ads?

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
