awesome bar problem
la 29. elokuuta 2009 17:56:32 — goombapatroli've had wot for a a long while now, love it.
however, recently i've been having a problem loading certain pages.
i have 'block' over warn, and though it slows down browsing a bit i prefer it.
using firefox's awesome bar, normally if i typed 'google' in the top the page would load ( www.google.com).
well, recently when EVER i type a single word (no matter how long) into the awesome bar, the page never loads. the 'wot loading website' stays up and clicking the wot website data (now transparent with an 'x') yields: 'failed to load ratings, retrying shortly'
typing the actual site in, or using more than one word will fix this.
changing 'blocking' to 'warning' fixes this.
i'd like to see if this is just my computer or if this is an actual bug.
i'm using the latest firefox 3.0 (3.0.13), if anybody else can try to replicate my results.

I use Warn, not block and a very low Warn at that - otherwise I could not visit the sites I rate low to warn other users.
Try clearing your cache = everything
and if that doesn't help, try a creating new profile in case your current one is corrupted.

i'll try cleaning the cache. thanks.
re: incompatibilities
su 30. elokuuta 2009 06:18:18 — g7wI'm curious...
What are the incompatibilities on a system that can run FF3.0.x and not 3.5.x
Also...
Try creating a new profile - more than likely a "fix."

No
su 30. elokuuta 2009 06:32:46 — WarxasI mean for example this add-on; https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/439... (Note: I just picked one randomly) it won't work with Firefox 3.5, yes you can force install it. But that's not what we are talking about. :)
firstly, i updated firefox
su 30. elokuuta 2009 07:30:41 — goombapatrolfirstly, i updated firefox to 3.5
i then also tried disabling every other addon besides wot.
same problem still.
i'm going to try making a new profile and seeing if that helps.
and has anybody followed my steps to try replicating the bug?
You can turn it off.
su 30. elokuuta 2009 07:49:23 — paul gHi, goombapatrol I dont know if you know but you can turn off the awesome bar. There is a video tutorial on c.net,Its easy but just be careful..
If You Dont Ask You Will Never Know..
okay, i made a new
su 30. elokuuta 2009 16:34:19 — goombapatrolokay, i made a new profile.
1. tried 'google' in the awesome bar, took me to www.google.com
2. downloaded wot and set it to block
3. tried 'google' in the awesome bar, never loaded.
thanks, paul, but i like the awesome bar. i just want this bug fixed (if it's affecting more than just me)
replicated
su 30. elokuuta 2009 17:25:22 — g7wI went in to Settings, changed to "Default" warnings, click "Blocking" on all categories
saved settings, opened a new tab entered "google" in the address bar and got the WOT icons as you displayed in your pic along with a chrome:// address.
I went back to Settings, restored my personal preferences, saved and opened a new tab, entered "google" into the address bas and get the OpenDNS error We did not find any results for: google
You are forgetting to add 1 small thing, the dot com.
enter google.com into your address bar either warnings, or blocking and the site loads just fine.
google - does not resolve, there is no TLD appended to the domain name
google.com - resolves, this is a proper domain name.

yeah, i know i could type
su 30. elokuuta 2009 19:33:33 — goombapatrolyeah, i know i could type the .com in, and that will work.
however, 'google' works when wot is disabled, why wouldn't it work with wot enabled?
i used to commonly type 'youtube' or 'gmail' etc. into the awesome bar to go quickly to the site. (or anything else typed in yields a google search of the text) it should work, i'm not understanding why it doesn't.
Re: yeah, i know i could type
su 30. elokuuta 2009 19:31:25 — Samiit should work, i'm not understanding why it doesn't
It doesn't work, because the add-on doesn't try to guess the TLD if one is missing. If you have blocking disabled, Firefox tries to guess for you.
ah, i see, that makes more

thanks everybody for your time! :)
