USGS GNIS Not working with firefox

Recommended Posts

I can't seem to get the USGS working with firefox anymore. It works with the Canadian database and with maps. I have tried the IE7 fix but that does not work. Can anyone help here?

First, you can no longer pass data to the GNIS site. They changed the site.

 

Also, make sure you have...

Preferences / Program Options / Other / Send URLs to the browser with backslashes setting unchecked.

As I noted I am aware of that info and because it works with other databases one could assume that the settings are correct (as they are). It is just the USGS that it does not launch a browser. Now this is not a big problem since I leave the USGS running because it does not accept search terms and just cut and paste between them - it is the fastest method. However, a cursory view of the USGS search page shows that it will accept search terms - the problem is figuring out what terms to include and how to solve the session problem.
