Firefox Loading Issue

    I’m having an issue with our site loading erratically in Firefox, and I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue. I’m trying to isolate the problem and I believe it’s strictly a Firefox issue, but I’m not 100% sure.

    Our site loads just fine in Safari, Chrome, Maxthon, and Opera.

    But, in Firefox the images don’t always load on the first try and often requires a page refresh. The text and basic template framework loads, but no images. The odd thing is that it works fine on Firefox mobile, such as an iPad. I experienced a similar issue with Safari about a year ago where our site loaded fine on desktop, but would not load images on mobile. Now that’s working fine with the latest Safari update from Apple and WP.

    Any insight is highly appreciated.

    I can duplicate it every time in FF 45.0.1.

    The minute I turn my Adblock Plus extension off, the symptom disappears, and the images load on first try. I can make the images disappear again by simply toggling Adblock Plus back on and then refreshing the page.

    Try temporarily turning off any extensions you might be using in FF and see if the behavior changes at all.

    Hi Clayton,

    Thank you for taking the time to check into this for me. I hadn’t considered that a Firefox extension might be the cause. I don’t use Adblock Plus, and as far as I know from other people that have reported the issue to me aren’t using it either. But, it’s possible that other extensions could be an issue as well. I use Firefox for Dev work and have several extensions loaded. The other browsers (Safari, Chrome, etc.) that I test in are clean installs with no extensions.

    I will need to look into this further.

    Once again, thank you for your time. I appreciate it!

    You’re welcome. For what it’s worth, I’ve noticed some odd issues with the way Firefox loads scripts since the first 44.x update. More specifically; my firebug extensions, and on occasion the Adblock Plus extension, seem to prevent Firefox from loading my homepage URL when I open Firefox. I’m forced to open the home page manually about half of the time. I’m kind of waiting for either Mozilla, or the extension providers/devs to see a growing pattern in the bug reports and address the issue.

    I’m running firebug as well. That might be part of the issue. I will take a look at it in the next day or two and try and run this down.

    Thanks again, I appreciate your help!
