What functionality are you disabling when you turn off docshell.frameloadcheck?
The problem is specific to Tabbrowser Extensions with Firefox. If you don’t use that extension, you probably don’t have the problem.
Scott: That keeps sites from targeting links in a frame that was created by another site. Apparently there’s a bug with the tabbrowser extension that must cause Firefox to think the two frames are different sites.

Bloglines and Multizilla
Excerpt: Wenn man Mozilla zusammen mit Multizilla einsetzt und den "New Windows Redirector" aktiviert, um alle externen Link statt in einem neuen Browser-Fenster in ein Tab umzuleiten, funktioniert Bloglines nicht mehr. Auf kalsey.com ist ein Fix f&uu...
Works like a charm. Thanks.

Bloglines and Firefox fix
Excerpt: I've not used my Bloglines account for some time. But today when I tried to use it nothing would happen when I clicked a link to view recent posts from a feed. So I did a quick search and found this handy Bloglines and Firefox fix. Seems there's a pr...
I’m experiencing this problem and am not willing to do without Tabbrowser Extensions (which IS still ‘necessary’ even after .09). However, I don’t have a pref.js file anywhere on my system. Also, where do you ‘right click’ that results in an option to ‘add a new boolean value?’ I can’t find this for the life of me.
TIA
Re-read the entry. The second paragraph provides step-by-step instructions. Type about:config into the address bar. This will bring up your prefs. Then right-click and add the new value.
I re-read the entry many times before posting. Nothing at all happens when I right click on the page that comes up after I type ‘about:conig’ in the address bar.
I get the context menu on any other page I right click on but nothing on the prefs page.
Okay… I’ve solved the problem. You need to left click on the page and select any pref before you right click on the page. If no pref is selected, the menu will not appear.
The fix has solved the problem for me now.
Thanks!

Mozilla Firefox
Excerpt: Ik wilde graag gebruik gaan maken van de Webbrowser Mozilla Firefox maar door een klein probleempje bleef ik toch bij de tot nu toe door mij veelgebruikte browser MyIE2. Het probleem zat hem erin dat de website Bloglines.com, die ik bijna constant gebr...
Cheers! That’s been bugging me for a while now. :)
Worked like a charm - thanks for posting!
Just outta curiosity, have you found anyway to get bloglines to work as a sidebar bookmark in Firefox?
Excellent! I’ve been using the middle button for Bloglines links since I installed Tabbrowser Extensions. I didn’t mind the adjustment, but now I want to add the easyGestures pie menu on the middle button. Your tip lets me have all three working correctly - Bloglines, Tabbrowser Extensions and easyGestures. Thanks.
Thanks for the fix!
Kudos! I can’t live without Firefox, Tabbrowser Extensions, or Bloglines. Since upgrading to Firefox 0.9.3 earlier this weekend, I’d been pulling my hair out because I had to use [shudder] IE to read Bloglines. Thanks!
Ditto, thank you for figuring this out (how did you figure it out, anyway? just as a future pointer) - I’ve been playing “let’s reinstall Firefox” all friggin’ day, and had finally got it to work mostly when I ran into exactly this problem. My head remains unexploded, thanks to this tip. :P
Thanks for this. It also works for Mozilla 1.7.3.

Bloglines & Firefox
Excerpt: I had a vexing problem with this combo, which Tom and others tried to help me resolve. The issue: I'd click a site listed in Bloglines left panel, a new tab would open, but blank. I ensured all extensions were updated, and tried various settings, but t...
Hey… great fix! I am noticing however, that I have to reset the docshell.frameloadcheck.disabled value every time that I restart Firefox (even though it still says “true”). For some reason, Firefox ignores that value after a restart and has to be reminded that it exists. Any ideas? Has anyone experienced similar?
Thanks!
I’ve tried the fix you suggested, adding the string and changing the value to True. However the problem still occurs. I was putzing around with the settings in TBE and managed to get bloglines to work by changing the “new tab” behavior…however I cannot figure out exactly how I did that, and now I’m back to BL not working anymore.
Does anyone know the specific setting that is causing this bug? I have over 150 feeds in bloglines that I read daily, and this is by far the most inconvenient bug i’ve come across in fireferret yet.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated.
thank thank thank you…I was about:pull hair out
I had a similiar problem for months, only my FF kept opening “untitled” tabs in the background… How i got it to work? For me it was simply changing TBE Options->Window Mode from “Use only one …” to “Use multiple windows normally”
(I’d recommend unistalling TBE, making sure bloglines work, installing TBE again and then working your way in the options while verifying that bloglines still works)
Thanks for the TBE hint, though!
Thanks for this great article!!

Strange…I use Firefox and I’ve never had problems with Bloglines.
