Facebook silliness with Firefox
Posted: Tue 18 Aug, 2009 11.24
I have a recurring problem when using Facebook with Firefox, and it only seems to occur in Firefox.
When clicking links, the URL link becomes a /sub-directory link (if you're with me) pasted at the end of the current page URL.
For example, if I'm on http://www.facebook.com/joe.bloggs and want to view another profile by clicking a link, the page goes to http://www.facebook.com/[b]joe.bloggs#/ ... 590&ref=mf[/b] which loads a blank page, where it should link to http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=753848590&ref=mf
The only way around this is to open links in a new tab, or delete the unneccesary/obsolete information in the URL.
Is anyone else having this problem? Have you found a solution? Or are there add-ons that can resolve this?
