Check your firefox buttons...

Dec 5, 2004 8:26AM PST

I am using Firefox largely due to the hearty Cnet endoresement of the browser. When I go to the forums, however, the "create new discussion" button is completely invisible, at least on my computer. I reluctantly opened up IE, posted my question, then went back here on Firefox. If I move the mouse over the space for the button, I get the hand icon, and clicking one the phantom button gets me here. It would be nice to actually see the button, though. The other buttons, such as preview message and cancel seem to be fine. Of course, there may be other buttons with the same problem, but I can't tell since I can't see them. ;D

I actually found another invisible button. I was going through the forums, wondering why there didn't seem to be a "next message" button at the bottom of the posts. Went over to IE, found that I could see the button there, then back to Firefox. Another phantom! If you know where the button is supposed to be, you can find it.

How do you clear the cache? I can't find the command on ff.

Why would that make a difference in whether or not the buttons show? And why would it be different in ff than in ie? Just curious.
