Firefox / Wikipedia issue


Mercifull

Recommended Posts

For some reason none of the images from Wikipedia load anymore (well anyhitng from http://upload.wikimedia.org). The connection seems to time out. Content pages load perfectly fine and things like the logo and the button images work fine too. Also images load ok in Opera and IE7. I have cleared the cache and upgraded to Firefox 2 and still having this problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any ideas anyone? (Cam)

er, I'm guessing you're not stupid enough to have disabled images from external websites? That would mean all the tip.it signatures and images and everything would be out aswell though...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Could it be some dns caching thingy? Like.. you try to access the page in Fx, it doesn't manage to get through to upload.wikimedia.org, then it finally makes the connection but Fx has already lost interest in it, then you try to load the same page in another browser and it gets through fine, because the connection thingy is 'fresh' - hmm, I don't really know what I'm talking about here :) But you could test it by accessing a page you've not been to before in another browser, and then loading it in Fx...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Otherwise, I dunno :-k

You didn't accidentally clicked 'block images from upload.wikimedia.org' or something did you?
No.
