Certain features of Facebook does not load correctly on Safari 5.1.7

Worked perfectly. Thank-you!

Only works on https. Not sure what is the solution.

Same for me!

Posted too soon I guess. I tried Emptying the Cache and it worked! Try doing that and Quit and reopen Safari. Hopefully, it will work.

I'd prefer not to lose the contents of my cache if I don't need to!

Having the same problem here. Occuring on all my macs and even the ipad. Must be a facebook issue. Https works though.

Can't be a Facebook issue, as Facebook is working fine for me with other browsers, including Chrome!

Having said that, I followed the advice in another thread that worked for me. I went to Facebook > Account Settings > Security > Secure Browsing - and set "browse Facebook on a secure setting (https) when possible".

Everthing seems to be working fine now!

I hadn't updated safari to 5.1.7 on any computers, or done anything else. Clearly there is something that has changed in the facebook program that is no longer compatible with safari unless you enable the secure browsing. To reaffirm what you said, with secure browsing enabled, things are working just fine. Love the apple forums, however, I sure wish they would get ahead of these things so we users aren't stuck finding workarounds with such little guidance.

It's just not the "Apple way" to publically acknowledge any issues, let alone to chime in on these boards with any suggested workarounds or proposed fixes. This place is ostensibly where users help each other - which is very valuable. But even on Adobe's so-called "user to user" forums they have some insiders and other stooges (and even the occasional identified staffer) that drop in from time to time to offer an informed comment.

This appears to be fixed on the Facebook end. I have been able to turn off secure browsing.

Working for me w/o secure browsing now as well.

EDIT: My roomate installed something called peerguardian that was causing problems. Uninstalling that and rebooting fixed everything. Sigh. Time to change all my passwords and lock the door.

My Mac Pro was on 10.7.2, and all was well. I upgraded everything Software Update wanted.

I now have.....

Safari Version 5.1.7 (7534.57.2)

OS X 10.7.4

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_31-b04-415-11M3646)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.6-b01-415, mixed mode)

Now, Facebook images don't load in Safari or Firefox or Chrome in OS X via http or https. Also, my PS3MediaServer (a java DLNA server) no longer works. This happens in my normal user account and a fresh one I just created. Everything works fine using a prehistoric install of XP via Bootcamp.

It seems to be software, and it really looks like it is java related.

Here's the quick and dirty rundown.

Facebook or PS3MS on OS X 10.7.4 on Mac Pro using ethernet - fail

-Facebook

-images don't load in Safari, Firefox, or Chrome

-worked before Software Update

-PS3MediaServer

-throws a "java.io.IOException: No route to host" when it tries to connect to my PS3

-worked consistently prior to upgrade

Facebook or PS3MS on Windows XP (Bootcamp) on Mac Pro using ethernet - success

Facebook or PS3MS on OS X 10.7.2 on MacBook Pro using same ethernet cable as Mac Pro - success

Facebook or PS3MS on OS X 10.7.2 on MacBook Pro using Airport - success

Facebook or PS3MS on XP on laptop using Airport - success

Facebook or PS3MS on Windows 7 on laptop using Airport - sucess

It certainly doesn't appear to be a network issue. The fact that the problem started immediately after I ran software update points to software. The fact that my java PMS server stopped working at the same time makes me think that it is something Java related.

Hopefully my troubleshooting will help someone.
