Two sites I regularly visit, load up fine in Firefox, but as soon as they are done loading, the page refreshes but seems to get stuck in an endless loop and the page never finishes.

http://kotaku.com/
http://lifehacker.com/

What is causing this and what must I change to remedy this situation. Both sites seem to use the same layout, so I assume a fix will apply for any such sites.

Thanks for any assistance.

Both work fine here with my latest filterset.

Can you give more information on versions of firefox etc and plugins?

Cheers,

Paul

I was able to fix a similar problem (in opera) by disabling:
Inject: Proxomitron Helper Script - Start {R}
Inject: Proxomitron Helper Script - End {R} 20050720 [z12]

This also made comments on digg load and the loading of search results on www.youtorrent.com work. I'm not sure what this filter does but it seems to cause a lot of site problems.

Great filterset tho hope you can iron out that little bug

Problem with that is the {R} means it is Required for the filterset to work properly.

Re-enable those, and add this to your User - Include Exclude file to fix YouTorrent:

Hmmm...I used to have the same problem with kotaku.com as Lighthouse, so I ended up adding it to the bypass list. I just tried commenting it out and exiting and restarting Prox, and it's loading fine now. I also didn't have any problems with lifehacker.com.

I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.11 with these plugins:
BugMeNot 1.3
Console2 0.3.9
DOM Inspector 1.8.1.11
Download Manager Tweak 0.7.2
Favicon Picker 2 0.3.4.3
Flashblock 1.5.5
Flashgot 0.7.7
Gmail Manager 0.5.4
IE View 1.3.5
Image Save 0.3.7
Long Titles 1.3
Optimoz Tweaks 0.4 (tweaked to work with FF 2)
Plain Text Links 0.3
SecurePasswordGenerator 0.5.4
Show Picture 0.8
Talkback 2.0.0.11
User Agent Switcher 0.6.10

Curious thing about digg, between my mentioning the problem yesterday and today they seem to have changed the way showing comments works, it now take you to a new page. This works fine with the filterset.

To be more specific about the problem on gawker media sites: the site will be loading and suddenly redirect to a blank page. Pressing back reveals the page, usually with several images only half rendered.

And unfortunately this fix for youtorent you posted isnt working for me. Is the helper script essential for anything besides the proxomitron menu?

Thanks for your help!

Perhaps try clearing your cache? You may already have done this though...

I wasn't the original author of my filterset, I kind of took over updating it because JD5000 stopped doing it at some point.

But anything with {R} NEEDS to be on for my set to work as intended.

Interesting solution

Let me know how it goes Lighthouse.
