Page Stops Loading After Scrolling

[Wiggam72]

Can someone please let me know what's going on? I hoped that after the new update 52.0 (32 bit) the problem would go away. I don't know if it's a FF, FB or PC problem.

When I visit the page, the page will not finish loading once I scroll down about a few feet or so. It will only show about the first 3 feet worth of scrolling. Scrolling upwards from that point will show the page.

Here's the link. https://www.facebook.com/groups/22344567844/

That link won't do much good ... since the user needs to be logged on to that site... and I'm not going to register for it... but...

I just visited a local junk-selling site for around here and I had no issues with scrolling down... when it came to the end it just loaded more and more and more...

...so, have you tried any of this?

From a prior post from Dan Raisch (with minor changes) ...

(If using a version below Firefox 3.5.) Clear the browser cache (Tools->Clear Recent History->select cache->click on "Clear Now" button).

Else... use menu path Tools->Options->Advanced->Network tab->click on "Clear Now" button.)

Delete any cookies relating to the site(s) involved (Tools->Options->Privacy->Show Cookies button).

Note: The above is for Windows so if you're using a different OS refer to this...

I checked just for the heck of it, and I as thought. nothing is there other than this site's cookies because the browser is open. I have the add-on Self Destructing Cookies, and also have the browser set to delete all cookies when the browser closes.

I suggest that you create a test profile and test with it as-is then...

I created a Test Profile and it did the same thing. So, now I know it has nothing to do with my Profile. It could be something with the page. I'm in other Closed Groups and of course regular pages on FB and they don't do that.

Is there someone I can PM the page info to e.g., View Page Source, View Page Info, Inspect Element so they can figure out if there is an error in the page code? I don't want to post it here since it might have personal info since it's a Closed Group on FB and obviously can't be accessed without signing into FB.

There are more... but this person comes to mind...

No help was granted.

Anyway, I have found that this is definitely a Firefox problem. I just used IE and went to the page and it scrolled for weeks worth of content with absolutely no problems.

Now I know that it's a FF problem and not anything to do with my PC, my FF profile, FB, or the page itself. Is there anything I can do to make it work?

Or, do I have to file a bug report?

Before declaring Firefox the issue or bug consider it could be a security issue which IE does not implement.
Try turning off tracking protection and see.
It could be something failing to load due to the tracking setting.
Just a thought.

It could be the page & how it's coded.
IE just ignores all the faults, takes a guess & displays the page,

where-as Firefox sees those errors/faults etc., & hence you get the problem.

Okay, this is absolutely crazy. Before I get into the crazy part, I tried disabling the FF tracking and it didn't work.

Now for the crazy part. I stumbled onto a way to make the page work! If I access the page via a post someone made via Notifications, the loading problem happens. However, if I access the page via the link from the list of names on the left side, it works!!

BTW, I just tried the link I posted in my original post for the first time and it also works. I never tried it since I have access to it once I Log in and only accessed the page when there's a notification that someone posted something, typically a new photo.

So why in the world would accessing a page via Notifications in FB make this happen?

[Grumpus]

Sounds like a Facebook issue and the possibilities are many.
If you go look at both links and use "Inspect element" on each do you see any differences in url?
Thinking it could be a typo or some other error in the html

[Wiggam72]

The links are totally different. I can see that without Inspect Element. The link from the SHORTCUTS section on the left side is very short. The link from Notifications is very long. I assume because it goes directly to the post and not at the top of the page like the one from the SHORTCUTS section.

I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for using Inspect Element. When the links are so vastly different, how can I tell where the problem lies? I might need a course on using the Inspect Element LOL! Well, unless someone knows enough about it to guide me through and locate the problem.

[Grumpus]

If the problem is with the links on the page you could provide Facebook with what you found.

[Wiggam72]

Okay, reported it. I'll see what happens.
