i cant actually play using firefox right now, when i click "play" nothing happens, on IE the window pops up fine, and the game loads. On firefox however nothing happens, checked the java, deleted any dodgy add-ons... im stumped
I only use FF to play this.

Remove FF I dont no why people use it anyways

The only things it is possibly any good for is all the extra plugins and tools you can use but it's no better than IE

While from a personal viewpoint I completely agree with Si123, there is no reason the site shouldn't work in Firefox.

First, try replacing your profile pic. Dont ask why, it might work!

Failing that, if you do have any FF add-ons installed, its worth trying safe mode.

If that doesnt work, i'd go for a fresh install of both FF and Java :

- Go to control panel
- Add remove programs
- Remove all the java versions you see (there may be more than one).
- Clear browser histories including downloaded program files.
- Reboot (even if you're not told to)
- Then visit http://www.java.com for a new, clean, install.

thats basically what i did spinmeister, worked a treat.
now why would I use firefox you ask?

1. plug ins, including fasterfox, which basically increases the load to web servers, meaning instant page loading times, also blutch's add-on deserves a mention aswell, tells me all the ratio's.

2. FF is the only browser I've found where i can remove the address bar at the top, i only have a 15.6" lappy, so by removing the addy bar, i have slightly bigger balls!

Glad you got it sorted.

I'd be wary of fasterfox - the theory of prefetching is good, but remember that means your downloading every single link on every page you view. No need to explain what that can actually mean for performance.

In IE you can completely remove the address bar just by using fullscreen mode (F11 toggle).

You'll like IE9, its the most minimal browser yet

F11 doesnt work on my computer when I open it as a pop-up window.

And its not possible to open it as a new tab using CTRL

Si, how would you feel if I told you to stop supporting Stoke because there cant be any possible reason to support them and to switch your support to your nearest rival? Thats basically what you are telling Mark to do in a different context
