Fixed: Firefox Showing Mobile Pages
I had a problem with my MacBook running Mac OSX 10.5 where FireFox 3 would report to the server that I was using a mobile platform. The server would then redirect me to their mobile page. This made it difficult to brows PayPal.com and Schwab.com (among others) because they were always taking me to their mobile or wireless pages, no matter what URL I went to. Turns out I had a plug-in to “enable WML browsing”. I deleted the plug-in and the problem went away!
Symptoms
Firefox redirects to mobile versions of webpages.
Solution
Remove/disable a plug-in that enables WML browsing.
Work in Norfolk
I am on a slightly new project at work now. I have been working heavily on my old project getting labels applied to units of board by hand and all that goes with that in our ERP system. Now I am working with plants that have a lot of robotics get these labels applied and ERP transactions performed automatically. The plant I am at now in Norfolk Virginia is one of USG’s newest plants, well, newest board lines. Since it is so new, it has pretty much the most robotics of any of our plants, so that is really neat. We are scheduled to turn the board line on within a month, and we need to have our labeler all set by then. I am the one that is responsible to get the labeler online and transacting by the time the board line gets started.
The picture above is the printer (Zebra 170PAX4) that is part of the whole labeling system. I don’t have a picture of the entire machine, but it is really quite amazing.
