Hi,

Better gReader is very useful and cool add-on! Thank you for
developing it!

Now the problem: in the latest version for some RSS feeds (Russian
news portals) preview function doesn't work. Preview window opens and
then minimizes for 1st feed and just renders nothing for 2nd. This
problem appeared, probably, in last 2 versions of the add-on.

System configuration:
1. Mac OS X 10.5.8 + Firefox 3.5.4
2. Windows XP Pro SP3 + Firefox 3.5.4

RSS Feeds:
1. http://static.feed.rbc.ru/rbc/internal/rss.rbc.ru/rbc.ru/mainnews.rss
2. http://www.compulenta.ru/rss.xml

If you need additional information and I can help to solve the problem
please ask.

Thanks!

Hi there,

Sorry for your troubles.

Some sites don't work with the preview script, and the most likely
reason is that those sites use JavaScript to prevent other sites from
embedding them in a frame. That could be what's happening here. If you
try with an earlier version of the user script with Greasemonkey, does
either feed work?
