As soon as the page loads, Firefox tells me that this site is wanting to store data on my local disk. I'm not sure when I last saw a website wanting to do that. I don't know what exactly your site needs to do in this respect, but it might be good to not do that on the main page. Let your users learn more about who you are, what the site does, etc., before alarming them with stuff like that.
The site seems to break the back button. If I have to exert inordinate effort to browse backwards away from your site, I am unlikely to want to return to it.
- BenoitEssiambre 14y agoThat's interesting. I don't really support Firefox yet. I didn't know Firefox prompted users before allowing html5 offline storage. The webkit browsers don't have this behavior. I use offline storage to sync books and make them available to read offline. You are right that the back button behavior is a little weird. I completely missed this during my tests. Shame on me. The use of the history API was meant to allow people to bookmark places within books not to make "back" act all weird. I will have to reconsider how I do this. Thanks for the feedback :-)
- zitterbewegung 14y agoI think you should make a landing page or demo page that doesn't use cache.manifest. This will probably solve that problem.
