Why do some links fail to load? eg articles linking to Digg, Reddit...
Links to some sites, eg Digg and Reddit do not work, either when opened in a new window or through the preview. Copying the link into a new tab fails too. The only way to open the link is to close Feedly, restart firefox and then paste the link.
Firefox 3.1 b3

Inappropriate?Sorry about that. Can you please provide us with a screencast so that we try to reproduce this?
-
Inappropriate?http://screencast.com/t/ASrXcR2dT
you'll see at the end when i tried to paste a link without restarting firefox - that it fails too -
Inappropriate?Thank you very much for the screencast. This is very bizarre. I am not sure why this is happening yet. But we will dive into this afternoon and try to get it fixed as soon as possible. One question: what OS are you running firefox on?
-
Inappropriate?XP Sp3

Inappropriate?Thought I should bump this thread.
Is any progress being made? -
Inappropriate?J. I have been looking into this but I am not able to reproduce this. Can you please try to see if there are any errors generated in the firefox error console when you try to open the link and the page stays empty (firefox menu > tools > error console > message or errror subsection (warning are not interesting).
Can you also go in the feedly preferences, turn off feedly mini and see if this problem still happens? -
Inappropriate?No errors are generated in firefox however I have found the solution to my problem.
I use an ad-blocking program called Ad Muncher.
When enabled - links from Reddit, digg, lifehacker and some others do not work, but when disabled - they work fine.
Do you know why this could be happening? Ad Muncher is by far the best ad blocking program available and I would like to keep using it. -
Inappropriate?Error: syntax error

Is this error code relevant? -
Inappropriate?That error is not relevant. I am not familiar with Ad Muncher so I am not sure what could be happening (we don't do anything special per se: just ask the browser to open the page). I will take a look at Ad Muncher. This week is a little hectic because we are doing some iphone benchmarking and it is eating up all our time but I will try to see if I can carve out some time over the week end or next week.

Inappropriate?I'm asking the Ad Muncher guys too at the moment - they seem a bit confused about how Feedly does its thing.... here's a link to the forum question I posted
http://www.admuncher.com/forum/viewto... -
Inappropriate?This was the lastest response from the Ad Muncher team:
'I can confirm this, but I don't believe Ad Muncher is the cause.
I turned off all filtering and it still failed often.
Ad Muncher does change all HTTP/1.1 requests to HTTP/1.0 but since HTTP/1.0 is perfectly valid it shouldn't matter.
If anyone can show Ad Muncher is causing this in some other way let us know and we'll be happy to fix it if possible.
most of links on the feedly homepage work just fine as well.'
Have you made any progress? -
Inappropriate?Did not have the time to look at it. I think that what he wanted from you was a set of detailed steps to reproduce the problem. Didn't you say that everything works well in feedly is you disable Ad Muncher?
-
Inappropriate?A bit more investigation of this problem reveals an interesting behaviour pattern which I hope will help find the problem.
When the Ad-Muncher program is off - Feedly works fine.
When Ad-Muncher is turned on while firefox is still running - Feedly continues to work just fine. But if firefox is restarted - then Feedly stops working.
Conversely - as soon as Ad Muncher is turned off again - Feedly immediately starts working again - no firefox restart required.
Here's a screen-cast showing this:

I implore you to install Ad Muncher yourself and see for yourself.
