Tag Archive: firefox


I was quite interested in the Google +1 feature, but for some reason, whenever I clicked on the icons, it always ended up not working and giving me the red folder(?) icon with Firefox (5). However, when using IE9, I had no issues.

It also occurred to me that whenever I was searching with the built-in Google search, it always showed me as not logged in, despite many attempts to do so. As a result, I never had the +1 next to my search results on google.hu.

I tried to delete just my Google cookies, then all my cookies with no avail. Looking at my cookie settings I noticed that my Firefox was not accepting third party cookies.
I thought this might be problematic when logging in at google.com and using google.hu so I checked the checkbox to allow the 3rd party cookies and voila!

Not only does google.hu stay logged in with the +1 visible, I can also +1 without any problems.

I came across a small issue with Visual Studio 2010, I couldn’t launch the ASP.Net Configuration site. I kept clicking on the small icon in the Solution Explorer, but nothing happened, apart from the built-in IIS bubble firing up. The problem is the default browser, which is Firefox in my case. I tried googling for the solution, and I kept seeing people mentioning  “Browse with…” and change default browser. But I had no god damn Browse with option when I right-clicked.

Turns out it doesn’t work with everything, you need a genuine HTML page (and not .aspx) in the solution and then you get the Browse with option if you right-click it. From there, you can just set Internet Explorer as the default and it should work fine.
