Opening DE MEW187 in Firefox

[Nyrup BoeghParticipant @nyrupboegh48678]

Hi

I am a new subscriber to MEW.

I live in Denmark and the Digital Edition of MEW

MEW suits me perfectly. Now I don’t have to

worry about the delivery. Our postal system

in my country is absolutely not what it used to

be just a few years ago. Now it is not uncommon

that mails and magazines is not delivered to

the person it was supposed to be delivered to.

The reduced price of the Digital Edition is

also very much appreciated.

I have so fare had no problems opening the

issues. I have already in this first month of

my subscription read many interesting articles accros

many issues reaching back to the first issue of MEW.

However there seems to be a problem opening the

latest issue (187) when i use the browser that i use

most: Firefox.

I am using Linux (Lubuntu 11.04, Lubuntu 11.10 and Ubuntu 11.10)

and Firefox 10. I have discovered that using Google Chromium

I am able to open Issue 187.

Has anybody had this problem with Issue 187?

Kind regard,

Lars-Peder

I’m also using Linux (PCLinuxOS 2012 KDE) and Firefox 10.0.1 and there is no problem here. If you have Firefox 10.0 perhaps you should upgrade to v. 10.0.1?

Lars-Peder,

I'm reading this on my laptop, which runs ubuntu 11.10, with Firefox 10.0.1 and this combination won't open the digital issues, either. Looks like it could be an issue with ubuntu. I seem to remember having a similar problem with an earlier release of ubuntu, too. No such problems with the desktop running Windows (Vista) + Firefox 11.10. Try the ubuntu community help forum. God luck.

I've just updated to Firefox 10.0.1 in my Ubuntu installation running on Virtualbox and the digital issues work fine for me. Have you done a full update of Ubuntu recently?

Hi

Thank you for the answers.

I have checked and MEW Issue 187 opens in Firefox in my Ubuntu 11.10

installation. The problems seems to be in Lubuntu, both in ver. 11.04 and 11.10.

Again in Lubuntu I am able to open Issue 187 in Chromium.

The strange thing is, that as far as I see the problem is only with issue 187 and

therefor I am tempted to conclude that there is some kind of

difference in the format in Issue 187 compared to the other issues.

I guess there is now way that I can check this. The only way is if the

publisher could check this.

By the way all my Linux installations are updated.

Kind regard,

Lars-Peder

Lars-Peder,

For what it's worth – I've just done a clean re-install of Ubuntu 11.10 and all the asociated files on my laptop and now it opens all the digital issues. It's a long way round to cure the problem, but it passes the Sunday afternoon away!
