Bugzilla – Bug 4088
web interface skin appears unusual by default, Firefox only

I'll attach a screen shot so you can see. More than half the time I install 6.5* on my PC, the web interface appears like this. If I go to localhost:9000/default then it looks fine. But localhost:9000 looks bad. Note this is ONLY with firefox. With IE it works fine everytime.

Andy haven't you looked at a bug like this in the not-too-distant past? Do you remember which it was and/or what the resolution was? Basically it looks like Firefox is ignoring the CSS for some reason. Ross, you should also throw ino the comments the workaround you found, which was to clear the browser cache and reload. :)
No I don't recall looking at anything like this. I think I've seen this, but it was when going from 6.3 to 6.5, the CSS in the cache didn't work for the 6.5 site. Were you doing an upgrade when this happened?
I notice this when doing upgrades/downgrades. I think Daniel actually found the browser cache workaround, not me. The workaround I've used is to try adding the skin name localhost:9000/default. Sometimes that doesn't work and I'll try another skin and then default and it usually works.
Doing a Shift+Refresh usually fixed it for me.
was this related to change 9651?
Yes. This was the bug I fixed.
Clearing the browser cache actaully did not fix this for me. And I'm seeing this in both Firefox and Camino under 6.5b2. I'll attach the screenshots I've been taking over the last day or so to illustrate.

The fix went in post b2.
Created attachment 1527 [details] right after Picture 2, after a manual refresh (Camino)
Created attachment 1528 [details] right after Picture 3, after emptying the browser cache (Camino)
Created attachment 1529 [details] later, after loading a URL into 'Tune in URL' (Camino)
Created attachment 1530 [details] right after picture 5, after Slimserver auto-refreshed (Camino)
Created attachment 1531 [details] right after Picture 6, after a manual refresh (Camino)
I'll make sure I'm fully updated and keep testing it.
I am still occasionally seeing this behavior in 6.5.1 build 10145 in Camino. I don't think this is fixed.
Occasionally? Does that mean it goes away? Are you always seeing it do this after a reinstall?
Subject: Re: web interface skin appears unusual by default, Firefox only No, not after a reinstall. Just at random times while using Slimserver. One or both of the panes will display bad data. Refreshing the browser does not correct it. (sometimes it makes it worse) Clearing the browser cache seems to fix it some of the time.
I don't know if this is really fixed. I'm seeing this very very often especially when using the radio tune in page in Camino 1.0.3 on osx 10.4.8.
bad ui after radio tune in, is bug 4110. some sort of interference between http server for web and http server for streams.
