Works in IE8 but not Firefox

Postby Mowser » Wed Jul 07, 2010 12:46 pm

I was trying to donate to a charity using virginmoneygiving.com
I went to the site a few days back and using my Debit card, made a donation. It took ages and eventually I gave up as it didn't process. I tried again - no joy. I contacted Virginmoneygiving to see what the problem was. They couldn't help. I then contacted my bank and asked THEM what the problem was. They said there was no reason why it didn't work.

I am now appealing to you guys! I tried again today using IE8 and the payment went through in seconds. Any idea why it didn't work with Firefox?

Thanks in anticipation.

This is the fault of the site designers. I have come across several sites that will not work properly with Firefox. I have installed IE Tab in order to overcome this very problem. I hate using Internet Explorer but sometimes it is unavoidable.

What version of Firefox are you using?

I just made a donation, albeit very small, as a test and it went through perfectly for me using FF 3.6.6

Version 3.6.6

I've also downloaded the IE tab but haven't a clue where it is. Time to change the bombona on the computer.

I use FF 99% of the time but find there are sites it doesn't like. eg I was wanting to print something today and ff said 2 pages but IE said 8. You should get a little icon in the bottom right of the screen to change rendering from one browser to another with the add-on.

Thanks, but I must be blind. I've downloaded the IE tab but then what? A pop-up asks me to do a number of things that are alien to me. I'm about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Off for a lie down.

To find IE Tab, right click on the toolbar at the top of the screen, click on 'Customise'. Find the IE Tab icon on the panel that opens and drag it onto the toolbar. The icon has a small arrow pointing to a tiny IE logo.

By the way, do you have 'No Script' installed?

No script might be why your donation didn't work.
It is likely that the site you visited uses scripts to initiate the donation process.
You can temporarily, or permanently, "white-list", or "trust" all or some of the pages which have opened, without your seeing them, as links from the original site in you visited, with No Script options- accessed from your progress bar.

Relevant to this, I went to the Endesa site to change the correspondence address. Again it worked in IE8 but not Firefox. I disabled NoScript on Firefox (then re-started) and went back to the Endesa site.
It didn't work, so maybe it's not the NoScript that's doing it.

You need to use the IE tab addon to access the Endesa site.

I have to use IE if I want to change anything or enter a meter reading on the Endesa site as well. I don't think it is No Script causing the problem.

Thanks all. I used the IE tab. My point was that it's possibly not NoScript at fault as I tried whilst NoScript was disabled.
Griff. Indeed that was the site. I went to "clientes" and managed to change my correspondence address.
