Minimap not functional
I was working with Outpost firewall last night and moved several Google entries over to the blocked category. When I tried to use minimap later it loads, but I get a small gray box in the upper right hand corner of the map frame and the red crosshatch in the center of the map area, but no map. I restored the entries back to the allowed category, but minimap is still not working. I uninstalled/reinstalled it, tried closing down Outpost, even turned off Noscript (maps.stcstm.org is allowed), no change. Any ideas?
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hi Mike
I have had a look at the errors, and to be honest they are not indicative of an obvious cause.
You say that you have turned off outpost and noscript, reloaded Firefox and you still get the problem? Hmm, for whatever reason it seems the block has remained in place - perhaps try loading the map in a tab and shift+click the refresh button to clear the cached version of the map. Now restart Firefox and try agan.

Inappropriate?Thanks, Tony. I tried opening a tab and using the shift/click-on-refresh, but it didn't remove the block.
I had also deleted several old Java permissions in Outpost, for plug-in version Java Plug-in 1.6.0_03 (I'm running v. 1.6.0_05), but I'd assumed that they were artifacts of the updated Java plug-in and not needed.
I'm not sure if that would have affected minimap or not. -
Inappropriate?Hi Mike
Am struggling to get to the bottom of this. Am tied up on family business today but will try installing outpost and see if I can replicate over the next few days.
The extension does not use java so that should not be the issue.

Inappropriate?Not a problem, please feel free to deal with it as you have time.
This morning (after last night's Java update, for some reason), I'm getting a lighter gray frame with the "Powered by Google" logo in the bottom right hand corner, "Terms of Use" in the lower left corner; but still no map, just the gray box in the upper right hand corner.
Clicking on the TOU arrow box opens up a white-bordered box in the lower right hand corner, but there's nothing in it. Clicking on the Google logo opens up a new Firefox window that loads Google Maps.
I forgot to mention that clicking on the Map Preview option still works. It's just the sidebar and tab that don't generate a map image.
Whoa...
Clicking on one of the addresses that I saved in the lower frame brought up the map! It's the world map, and I can zoom in to my addresses, but it doesn't load automatically when I open the side bar.
Clicking on the TOU arrow box opens up a smaller version of the world map (smaller as in a smaller portion, not scale).
The first time I clicked on one of the addresses, the world map had a number of traffic light symbols on it (in the USA). The symbols were not there the subsequent times I opened the sidebar.
Tab view seems to be working in the same manner.
Weird... -
Inappropriate?Mike, can you please confirm that the home address lat/lng has not been corrupted? the easiest way to do this is to right click on an address list entry -> set as map home -> then close and reopen sidebar.

Would you believe that when I opened it to check the lat/lng, it opened normally without a problem? Both the sidebar and the tab functions are working properly. Not sure what was wrong, but I really appreciate your looking into it for me. Thank you
