Using Facebook and Firefox

Under the Sun No Comments

Just recently after getting newly installed Firefox on the notebook, I wanted to upload some photos to there. However, whenever I running the photo uploader of the Java applet from the Facebook it just hang itself there. It is not responding and I couldn’t upload any of the photo except resorting to use Internet Explorer in which I dislike about.

Unwilling to accept that, I google-ed for some answer and however, most of the posts mentioned on the solution for Internet Explorer. I guess the first thing I need to do was to install the JRE. I downloaded the latest JRE and installed it. Still, nothing happened except that the Java applet logo keep running at the photos uploader page in the Facebook.

I realized that there should be something wrong. I did the following step which proven to work and I posted it in the Facebook forum as well.

Here’s the post I did in the Facebook forum.

I’m using Firefox 2.0.0.11 and the issue with the Facebook photo uploader was that they unable to run the applet giving me error

Hence, i download the latest JRE (version 1.6.0.3) & install
still unable to upload photo, I decided to run the Java Console, and perform the following matters:-

s: dump system and deployment properties
t: dump thread list
v: dump thread stack
x: clear classloader cache

after that, reload the uploader page and viola, it works.

hope it helps those FF users.
