microB keeps refreshing some pages; HELP!!! Dx (solved, or is it?)
 
In some sites like http://pastebin.com and even talk.maemo.org itself, the browser keeps refreshing the page over and over again, pretty much unusable, what did i mess up?


edit:in talk.maemo not all pages keep refreshing, seems it doesn't happen int he main page, but it does when browsing threads

Re: microB keeps refreshing some pages; HELP!!! Dx
 
From what i read somwhere else, it might be related to the user agent string, but deleting prefs.js or removing the specific line about the user agent string doesn't help, next time i load microB it reverts prefs.js including the user agent string setting that is marked as customized in about:config (is there a way to revert a setting to the default value in about:config in microB?) Also i tried changing the UAS to match for example Iceweasel's and it didn't help with the refreshing.

btw, now some pages are producing the following error

i'd try deleting all cookies and then mess with some settings, imm sure there used to be a "ignore auto refresh" setting but i cant find it now... maybe i imagined it...

I there a way to reset the settings to default in about:config itself like how i can with the right click menu on Firefox's about:config?

i tried running
Code:
apt-get install $(apt-cache search microb|grep " - "|cut -f 1 -d " ") --purge --reinstall -s
as suggested by someone on IRC, the output was:

Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  maemo-geolocation-dbg: Depends: maemo-geolocation (= 1.1.2-1) but 1.1.3-1 is to be installed
  microb-engine-dev: Depends: libnspr4-dev (>= 20091230-1.9.2-6.16+0m5) but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libnss3-dev (>= 20091230-1.9.2-6.16+0m5) but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: libidl0 but it is not going to be installed
  ussd-widget: Depends: ussd4all (>= 0.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
  webkit-eal: Depends: libwebkit-1.0-1 (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I'm not sure if this was about extensions not gettign uninstalled, or about the main issue with the infinite refresh, but it seems nothing has changed after that command...

Seems i might have found the solution, make the mozilla profile folder not be hidden (remove the dot in the beginning of the name), this seems to have fixed the infinite refreshing!! :D


edit:I'm not sure, but i have the impression the browser even got more responsive after this change

Crap, it is recreating the .mozilla folder now, even if i move or delete it, not fixed anymore :(

MicroB needs a .mozilla folder, so it will always create it if the folder doesn't exist, just like firefox and other mozilla (based) browsers will. I'd recommend checking your microB options to make sure Accept cookies is set to Always. Also install Hide User Agent if you don't have it already and use it to remove the custom user agent string (it resets it to default). You can find the app under Settings after installation. Hope that helps.

Re: microB keeps refreshing some pages; HELP!!! Dx (NOT solved)
 
What if there is already a folder called "moziila" , the same name just not hidden?

I already have cookies set to Always, and HIde User Agent already removed the customized string, neither one helped :(

edit:i've jsut tried symlinking .mozilla to mozilla and nothing seems to have changed either :/

Erm, now it's working again, even with the folder there? I'm confused.... 0.o

having the same problem :(

microb almost unusable. for any page that I need to read more than 10 seconds anyway.

luckily there is opera but that doesn't help with youtube video which I can only watch for 10-15 secs :D

deleting the profile folder (the microB folder inside the .mozilla folder) seems to have fixed the issue, i dunno for how long though, also, clear cookies, cache and authenticaded sessions, and make sure the user agent string is the default

Could the problem be with Hide User Agent? My problem went away by actually modifying the custom user agent, but then it reappeared later, so I again removed the customization (as I had done previously). Now microB is again working normally, but for how we will see :) If the problem returns I am going to uninstall Hide User Agent to see if it makes a difference.

It seems somtimes having my N900 overclocked will trigger the glitch, setting max clock back to 600 makes it work again don't even have to shut down microB
