Issues while using Firefox or other browsers

Print

Reconfiguring the way your browser handles JavaScript may resolve this problem. If you're using Mac OS X or Windows with Mozilla Firefox 0.8+, Mozilla 1.4+, or Netscape 7.1+, just follow these steps:

  1. Type 'about:config' (without quotes) in the browser's address bar.
  2. Type 'image' (without quotes) in the 'Filter' field.
  3. Verify that 'dom.disable_image_src_set' is set to FALSE.
  4. Verify that 'network.image.imageBehavior' is set to 0 (the default setting).

Note: 'network.image.imageBehavior' may appear as 'permissions.default.image' for some browsers.

If you continue to experience difficulties, you may want to uninstall any programs or extensions that change the way your browser handles JavaScript. Other users have reported that these programs may affect the ability to view the maps.

If you're encountering a problem where the map fails to load and the status is stuck on 'loading...,' there may be an issue with your Skype extension. To test, please try this link:
