I've got a Mac user running Firefox who reports that he can log-in fine, but when he clicks a specific thread, it processes then just displays a blank page.

I'm running 7.2.2.

I thought I remember a thread about this on here, but couldn't find it.

Any thoughts on what I could have him try?

I'd imagine it could be something with the right/left columns, potentially the shoutbox if you have it enabled. I'd try becoming that user and disabling the right/left columns (if you allow it) and see if that fixes it for them. If so, then it's definitely something in one of the columns.

Thanks Rick. I already have shoutbox disabled in the right column on my site.

I currently don't have access to a Mac so I can't test as him.

I wonder if it's possibly?
- A virus software issue
- A Firefox bug and he might try re-installing it

Hmm, maybe have him view source of the page and see where it actually stops.

This was his last reply. I'll ask him to view source. Any other ideas?

My wife did something to the computer last night-(with the cookies?) and after we restarted it, I was able to open various threads without any problems. But when I tried opening a thread that had a lot of replies(larger size), I had the same problem, so I gave up for the night.
This early afternoon, once again I was able to log in and open various threads. Then I tried opening an x report and again, the same problem?!?!....very frustrating!

Anyway, let me know if you come up with something....

After a few emails back and forth, here is what the user finally reported:

My wife dumped the Firefox version we were using and installed an upgraded version....now I’m able to navigate through the web site without any problems!!
So maybe just a buggy install of Firefox was the issue.
