http "post" function broken in ALL Gecko (Mozilla) based browsers on ONE profile on Mac
digitaltoast
they all work fine on one profile on this mac, but for me, not!
This has me stumped - I have Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.2, and was happily
running Firefox 2.0.0.12 Suddenly, I was getting error 611 trying to
send a gmail. So I tried to post to the gmail forums - it said an
error has occured. So, I tried to login to Myspace, it said "length
required". Then I tried to post an item on ebay - it said there was an
error. Safari worked fine on all those sites, but there's no way I
wanted to switch to THAT wreck of a browser! So, I cleared cache,
cookies, disabled toolbars, ran CLAMxAV - everything I could think of.
I also downloaded Firefox 3. Still the same. To prove the point to
myself, I downloaded Opera, and all the sites worked fine. But then, I
downloaded Camino, and it was exactly the same errors as I was getting
with Firefox. What the...?!? It seems like any Gecko based web browser
cannot do anything that involves a certain type of POST function - and
yet, it gets weirder. I can log IN to gmail and ebay, but not post
anything. But I cannot login to Myspace it says "length required" and
the mozillazine forums is as if the name and password boxes were
empty. What can I do?! I've also totally deleted the whole Firefox
profile, checked disc permissions etc
I've also posted this in the mozillazine forums, but no response yet.
