Problem opening blog with Firefox?

  • Switched from Safari to Firefox solved many probs, but maybe created one?
    When opening my blog (in firefox) I’m getting a strange box that asks me what app I want to use to open the URL? Reads like this…

    you have chosen to open

    which is a: application/x-httpd-php
    from: http:/fineandfar.com

    then it asks me what app I want to open with or do I want to save to disk?
    I did get this message a couple of times I tried to open in Safari but that seems to have stopped happening. Persisting in Firefox. I can get to all my admin stuff though.

    anyway… new to all this. Browsed the forums pretty thoroughly and found nothing quite like this. Any help appreciated…

  • Let me guess, you are using FF ver 1.5.0.1?

    Since upgrading from FF 1.5 to 1.5.0.1 I have had similar problems. Access to the admin page works ok, but whenever I post an entry or update one I receive the same pop-up. In my case it asks if I desire to open the file in Dreamweaver because it is installed on my machine.

    The entry or update is recorded and displayed but it still is a major pain in the rear dealing with it.

    yep… 1.5.0.1

    will

    No surprise.

    With a bit of luck maybe someone will come along with and answer for the problem.

    I got that if php ran out of memory while processing the page. Turned out, that for me at any rate, increasing PHP’s max memory setting higher than the default 8MB got things going properly.

    Handy,
    That makes a lot of sense. That could be why I can open in Safari and not Firefox.
    Where is PHP located for running my blog?
    Thanks..

    PHP is part of the software WP needs to run. It isn’t part of WP. You may have to contact your host if you don’t have direct access to the php.ini file.

    Sorry, I understand your solution. However it makes no sense considering my host has made no changes to the php.ini file to create the problem.

    This is directly related to the change from FF 1.5 to FF 1.5.0.1. And frankly this problem, and one that has the latest ver also return many “unable to locate host” and similar, has me on the edge of tossing FF in the trashcan.
