Hi all, I am on Ubuntu Linux running Firefox 1.5.0.1(latest one). Ever since 1.5 series of Firefox I am unable to "Save and reboot" on Linux with Firefox. If I reboot into my windows setup and try with IE, it works like a charm. Is anyone facing similar problem. Can anyone confirm this or know some solution to it. Even konqueror does not work with D-Link 502T router.
 
i face the same prob, but i'm using firefox 1.5.0.1 on windows XP sp2
 
i know it can bebut meh two router got screwedso now im just scared . 😛

Ok being a developer if we couldn't solve this problem to ho chuka. So I solved it 🙂. I can now use FF and work as I do with IE on windows. I am a happy man now. Awaiting GH now 🙂

The problem is that the programmer who have written the router page has given the same name to the reboot button and the javascript function and perhaps due to a bug in new firefox it is unable to find the "reboot" function and this failing.

Nope. Due to bug in firefox or "feature" in IE, the button is not working in FF. Now it is working fine after my hack 🙂
 
akash, i dont see how a broswer can be held responsiltble for that...
 
hmmm, me neither, even i can't see any reason why u blame ur browser.there's no way that a browser can be held responsible for that !!!
 
although i'm not a very big fan of IE but still i wud say that every bad thing one has on his comp is solely bcoz the user brought it there, no browser automatically downloads viruses/spywares does it 😉???
 
well IMO, it's a 50-50 contri...user should be careful which site to visit...and if user is not careful then torjan or viruses r written in such a way that they exploit IE's vulnerability...it's not really that IE downloads them on it's own...
