    FastestFox(FF AddOn) and BG

    Okay so this problem has been going on for a bit. FastestFox has a "Load next page" feature where it loads the next page at the bottom of the current page. It's great for reading multipage articles, browsing paged sites and forum threads with a lot of pages. Only problem is it doesn't work with BG.

    I've used it on at least 7 forums but for some reason it doesn't work here. It starts to load the next page(shows the notification that it is loading) but then stops and never loads it. Anyone had this problem and fixed it? Or does anyone have FastestFox working on BG period?

    I've been trying to figure this out for awhile, but after starting a similar thread awhile ago that didn't go anywhere I ended up just waiting to see if updates of some sort would ever fix it. Here's thread: http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92569 - went about it in a different way and I still think that guy was talking about Fasterfox, lol.

    Just puzzled as to why it works when logged out. I miss this extension dearly.

    Just thought to mention in regards to OP that this feature worked prior to what seemed to coincide with a forum software update, as noted in the original thread I linked.

    Also if anyone skipped the thread link, it does work while logged off, just not while logged into a forum account, which was mainly why I wanted to figure the problem out as it didn't seem like something the admins turned off purposely.

    Here's an image to show it working while logged out:

    If it was caused by a BG forum update there's probably nothing I can do .

    still seems bizarre that it works when logged out as well as working on other forums with vb 3.8.5. I think I'll try contacting the extension's author and see if it's possible they know the cause behind why it wouldn't work. Usually never shows the loading page progress tab on sites it flat out doesn't work with.

    Bumping this as I just came across http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9848 as a suitable replacement for broke auto-paging. Requires a browser with userscript support, like Firefox with the Greasemonkey extension. So far that's the only browser it has worked with for me and I'm ecstatic to have this function back.

    I tried using it with Chrome since it installs userscripts as extensions, but couldn't get it to work on any threads.
