Firefox versus Chrome for Testdrive

Just trying out SUSE Studio and liking it! As my normal browser is Firefox
(fully patched running on WinXP PRO) I came across the same problem I see
posted elsewhere in that the testdrive could not connect complaining about
ports not being outbound which I fixed and still had the problem. So I
downloaded Chrome and BINGO, it works perfectly. So not a big deal, I can
use Chrome for the studio site, but was just wondering if anyone ever
figured out why it works on Chrome and not Firefox?

Cheers
James

Personally, I’ve never had a problem using Firefox for Testdrive.

I’d probably set up Wireshark and take a trace to see what was going on
on the wire to determine the cause of the problems you’re seeing.
