Re: cannot open Plusnet Members page in Firefox

Welcome to the forums @Nancee . When you say you can't get Firefox to open the PN site, what do you mean? What, if any, error message do you get? Is your FF browser the latest version? Can you open other sites in FF?

Re: cannot open Plusnet Members page in Firefox

Are you just getting problems just when you try to log in to the member centre?

Wondering if it could be some weird cookie problem.

I'll try it on my Mac in a moment.

It works fine for me, I just installed the latest version on the Mac.

Very quick and I like it so far, first time I have ever really used it.

Re: cannot open Plusnet Members page in Firefox

@Nancee It should work every time, especially on the latest version. Out of curiosity, do you get any error messages, and are you creating the bookmarks before or after you log in?

Re: cannot open Plusnet Members page in Firefox

Hello,

There are several other avenues you might explore:

  1. It often helps clearing problems like this with FF by deleting your cookies.
  2. Do you have any add-ons installed in FF such as advert blockers (AdBlock etc), script stoppers (NoScript etc) or others like Ghostery and Umatrix?
  3. What operating system are you using and has it been updated?

Good luck.

When you say "it has helped", do you mean it has fixed it?

If so, it may be something cached on your device which clearing it has fixed.

Re: cannot open Plusnet Members page in Firefox

Sorry to hear of your news @Nancee hope all is well.

Just signed into my account with Firefox on my Mac and it seems to work.

I looked at mine, and I noticed it is PDF. Might be Adobe Reader is not working on your laptop. Can you try a different site and see if you have the same issue.

I would Google "Adobe Reader Test" and see if the test pages work. That's what I've just tried.

Re: cannot open Plusnet Members page in Firefox

Adobe Acrobat is not the only PDF reader - but it is probably the most bloated. (by far).

Plenty of free alternatives.

Incidentally, in my Firefox preferences, I have online PDF documents set to "preview in FF"

Just to prove that not everybody thinks Adobe is great, I've taken a screenshot of the metadata in my Plusnet Bill:-
