A comment on the question "Are Airset and all the web sites on it down?" in AirSet:

Brian, I have been using the AirSet Connector, but I disabled it during troubleshooting and the problem still existed even after clearing cache, cookies, restarting, and rebooting. – Michael Knowles, on July 28, 2009 20:23

Michael Knowles reported a problem in AirSet on July 28, 2009 00:29:

Skype Plugin appears to prevent AirSet from Loading in Firefox

It appears that the latest Skype Firefox plugin associated with 4.1.0.141 of Skype does something to prevent AirSet from loading. I need to do more testing, but this happens with Firefox 3.x and version 4.1.0.141 of Skype on my Windows Vista SP2 system.

I can now confirm this is the case. It's repeatable. I've temporarily disabled the Skype plugin and AirSet loads properly under Firefox.

Brian, did that too. I'm not sure what happened here. I did install a Skype update this morning, though, I wonder if that could have been it. I can load AirSet in an embedded IE8 window, so at least I have a workaround. – Michael Knowles, on July 27, 2009 21:05

As of this morning, I can no longer access AirSet from FireFox. The site simply never loads at all. It works fine under IE8. I updated FF to 3.5.1, but that didn't help. Also deleted cache, cookies, Windows Vista temp files, restarted FF, no good.

Suggestions?
