Firefox problem
Hi all,
I sold an ebook to a customer who uses firefox and hes having trouble downloading it. I think theres a hiccuup in his firefox as I can download it on my firefox and opera and IE6.
He said
"hi, i'm also using firefox but i can't get past the
> the user name and
> password dialogue and hence can't get the ebooks, it
> just blanks out the
> password,"
Any suggestions??

Have you got a link so I can have a look. PM me if you want to keep it private.

Does the pw routine require javascript?
I'd check that he has it enabled (he probably has, but...) and whether he's running the NoScript plugin or similar.

The link worked for me. The password screen does not use JavaScript.
This is one of them computery things that is really gives ya the sheets. It appears to be on his end but without being able to look and touch, it's almost impossible to find out what is wrong.

OK. Archive up the file with password encryption. Upload it to a file-sharer such as Rapidshare
If using Rapidshare, you'll receive two links in return; the download link and a delete link.
Send him the download link to the file and the password. This requires an element of trust; that he won't distribute the two. But it's the same trust that he won't distribute the ebook in the first place.
I believe that after 30 days with no download the file will be automagically deleted, but just to be safe you can use the delete link as soon as you know he has a copy...
