1a2bcio8 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) Hello,I am having difficulty accessing amazon.co.uk. As soon as the amazon main page opens, it almost instantly redirects to an "ad.accelerator" webpage. The same thing happens on my house mates computer.Would somebody be kind enough to try this on their computer and tell me what happens?ThanksBen Edited February 16, 2008 by rowly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 EDIT: Why do some people who use FF seem to think they're superior to others?cos firefox tells them they are on the website. it's too late to gloat about it being fine in IE6 isnt it ?

Token Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Because we are. Now go away Safari boy before i get the guards on you.How come your using Firefox now? You use to say how much you'd rather not use it because it was shit.As for Amazon, it doesn't redirect to ad.accelerator, but I think that might be to do with have Adblock Plus plugin enabled (with easylist subscription)?Hm, mines FF beta 2. Might be why cos of the new rendering engine and backend. I should really update to b3Ermmm I'm using beta 3, try it out an see it makes the difference.

Revolver Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) mine doesn't do it with firefoxits either cus i have the adblock addin, or because everyone else has adware (lol), although that wouldn't explain why it always happens, maybe amazon got h@X0Rd?i think that's most likely, seeing as how it doesn't do it on IE on my comp either. Maybe they've fixed it? Edited February 16, 2008 by Disasterboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
