File Manager: ok in IE, no go in FF

First: Thanks a LOT for a great tool! Great work!

Next:
I have tried to get the file manager to work for a couple of hours with no success. Using Firefox the whole time, I thought I'd try Internet Explorer as a last resort. Guess what? It worked!

In FF, the browser opened, but it wouldn't show anything. I couldn't create directories, no files would show even if I manually had put some files in the dierctory in advance. In IE, everything works just fine!

I'm glad the browser is working well in IE, but I would be even more happy to get it to work in FF.

Does anyone have the same problem, or is it just me? Suggestions anyone? I find this rather strange...

RE: File Manager: ok in IE, no go in FF

IE plays it fast and loose with the rules. Kinda bothersome sometimes, helpful others. Don't know if it's same in FF, but NS used to not display a table if it was missing the closing tab... no display of form fields if not inside a form tag... wouldn't run sloppy JS... while IE would happily fill in the blanks, maybe throw in a dash of this, or a pinch of that.

I'd guess that it's maybe is a mismatch of case, some debug output that IE ignores, or something similar.
Look real close at the output... maybe open the tools->JavaScript Console... check log files... write a FAQ... =]

Today it works like a charm on FF too! It must have been a caching-problem.
