Having the same issue which is ultra-hard to debug:

Using FirefoxPortable to check if the browser itself has an issue: works on two different laptops but fails on the third.

All three operate with Windows 7 SP1, all have the same Hotfixes, Patches and Updates installed.

All have TLS1.2 enabled.

The only difference is the graphics card, so I tried to disable hardware accelleration in Firefox and also tried to disable WebGL. Without effect, the same error still persists.

It also will fail the same with Tor Browser on that laptop (which might also rule out the network part as Tor uses its own stack) while Tor Browser works with IG Platform on the other two laptops.

Before the redirection to IG UK Website happens, for a second an error message is shown below the IG logo:

?? general-error.header ??

??general-error.subtext ??

 

I've got no idea what could relate to this error and why Firefox is failing on that specific PC while it runs in exactly the same portable configuration on other two.

Hi @xenoide,
Have you tried to clear the cache and cookies? Have you tried with another browser? It could also be due to a firewall.
If you are still having an issue,please reach out to helpdesk.uk@ig.com for the IT team to have a look into it.

Thank you - Arvin

Hi @ArvinIG,

thank you for your reply, yes in fact I have already tried a lot to debug it and it does not seem to be Firefox itself causing the problem. A portable installation of Firefox is something that you can put on a USB stick and move it from PC to PC. So the exactly same installation on the USB stick works on two PCs and fails on the thir with the error above. Also a non-portable fresh installation of Firefox shows the same behavior as does the Tor Browser (Firefox based).

Chrome however works, but Chrome uses a completely different rendering engine.

I really would like to understand the root cause of this issue as it may indicate other (hidden) issues on the computer which fails to load the platform. Please also note the posts above, it seems to affect others as well.

However I have found a way to reproduce the problem even on machines where it would usually work with Firefox:

1. Open Firefox and clear all history with all site data, cookies and cache (select timeframe "Everything" and click all checkboxes)

2. Load the MyIG Dashboard

3. Press F12 to open the Debugger

4. In the Debugger, switch to the Network Tab

5. On the right side of the debugger set Throttling to "Regular 2G"

6. Click the "Open Platform" button and wait until the error shows

 

Now repeat the same steps but this time choose "Good 2G" instead. This time the platform will load successfully.

The explanation for this behavior seems to be related to the JavaScript engine and the related timings there. Very fast computers might have issues with Firefox JavaScript timings resulting in the error behaviour. So this could indicate that CPU speed and hyperthreading might show this behaviour on some computers while others won't suffer from it.

I'm not sure if 1st level support at the UK helpdesk is able to understand this problem as it is very technical and related to platform programming. Maybe you or somone else could advise to whom it could be addressed for solution.

Many thanks in advance.

Been with IG a few years and was always able to log in to MYIG with  Firefox V88, V90, V101,  but since yesterday I havent been able to  because the login prompt produces a green "Go To PLatform" button,a nd when I press it, i get thrown back ot the login prompt.

Its a carbon copy of this  problem mentioned in this thread a few years ago. Just wondering if anybody had a fix, because I know IG wont....  lol   Im on Firefox V101. I tried V102, or V104.0.8b wont fix it either.

This is some kind of Firefox rendering engine thing which also is hardware dependent (the exact same copy of Firefox Portable works on slower computers for me but fails on faster ones)

Meanwhile I use IG with Chromium Portable dedicated to it (which is an Un-Googled version of Chrome), I can recomend to you to try it out, never had any issues with Chromium no matter what hardware I used.

Yeah the funny thing is that it happened in Ff V101 which has been fine so far. Then I put the motherboard into an unusable state deliberately shorting the CMOS jumper, couldnt get it to boot at all, until I reseated the RAM, then when I came back online this happened. Could just be a massive co incidence, but Im thinking something changed from that episode.

Yeah, Chrome, Brave all work ok, but consume too much memory to be running a 2nd browser. Running Java with PRT maxes out 16Gb of memory! I'll try Chromium portable if it has a low memory footprint.

And....after a few days, the problem fixed itself.   I didnt make any changes on my end so I doubt Firefox was the culprit. Could have been a hardware glitch along the many hops my data routes through the net perhaps, but who knows?

    • GX Uranium ETF (URA) Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter trend Mode - Corrective Structure - Impulse for wave A (circled) Position - Wave (4) of A (circled) Direction -  Wave (4) is still in play Details -  A bearish impulse from 33.69 is emerging for wave A (circled) and we should see further decline. Overview of GX URA ETF   The GX URA ETF, also known as the Global X Uranium ETF, is designed to reflect the performance of companies operating within the uranium industry. This ETF offers investors a diversified portfolio that includes firms engaged in uranium mining, exploration, and production on a global scale. As nuclear power is increasingly recognized as a cleaner energy alternative, the potential for increased uranium demand grows, making the GX URA ETF an attractive option for investors looking to capitalize on the sector's growth.   Daily Chart Analysis Analyzing the daily chart, the GX Uranium ETF completed a bullish impulse wave cycle in May 2024, reaching $33.69, up from $17.70 in July 2022. This represented an impressive gain of over 88% in 26 months. From an Elliott wave perspective, such a substantial rise is typically followed by a bearish correction. Since peaking at $33.69, the ETF has been undergoing a downward correction. Ideally, this would involve a three-wave bearish correction. Currently, the ETF appears to be completing the first wave of this correction, known as wave A (circled). After this wave concludes, a corrective bounce is expected for the second wave, followed by another downward move in wave C (circled), which will complete the corrective phase.   Alternatively, there is a possibility of a bearish impulse wave decline that could drive the ETF price back down to $17.70 or even lower. This scenario is plausible because the initial impulse sequence to $33.69 marked the completion of wave (c) of a supercycle degree within a larger bullish corrective cycle that began in March 2020. Given that both forecasts indicate a further decline, it is reasonable to expect the ETF to fall to at least $25 in the coming weeks.   H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the bearish impulse wave from $33.69 is still unfolding and is currently in wave (5). There is potential for further extension towards the $27-$28 range, where wave (5) is expected to conclude. Following this, a bullish correction for wave B (circled) could occur, providing a temporary relief before the next phase of the bearish correction sets in.   Summary Overall, the GX URA ETF's recent performance and technical analysis suggest that investors should prepare for potential downward movement in the near term while considering the long-term opportunities presented by the uranium sector's growth potential.

DIRECTION: Bottom in wave (iv). DETAILS: We see volume increasing on the moves up of wave (iv) which gives us additional confirmation we are in a corrective phase.   This Elliott Wave analysis for Walmart Inc. (WMT), examines the current market structure and potential future movements using Elliott Wave principles. The analysis provides insights from both the daily and 4-hour charts to offer a detailed understanding of WMT's price action and anticipated trends.   * WMT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* We are looking for a continuation of the five-wave move into Minute wave {v}. Given that wave {iii} was near the equality of wave {i}, there is an expectation for an extension in wave {v}. The recent surpassing of the 0.618 projection of {v} compared to {iii} suggests that the next target is the equality projection, which is approximately at 72$. This level could act as a significant resistance, and a potential completion point for wave {v}.   * WMT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 4Hr Chart* The analysis indicates that wave (iv) is currently unfolding, and there is an increase in volume during upward movements within wave (iv), confirming that we are in a corrective phase. This suggests a consolidation or pullback phase before resuming the final leg up in wave {v}. The end of wave (iv) will set the stage for the last impulse to complete the entire wave {v} structure.   Technical Analyst : Alessio Barretta Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!  
    • European markets are poised for a strong start to the week following France's first-round election results, where Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party led with 34% of the vote, but with a smaller share than some polls had projected. This outcome lifted the euro to a two-week high and boosted indices futures, particularly the CAC40. However, uncertainty remains about the final outcome and its implications, as both far-right and left-wing parties have pledged significant spending increases despite France's high budget deficit. This week sees the release of the US non-farm payrolls report, and US markets are closed on Thursday for Independence Day. The UK election and the crucial second round of voting in France will also dominate events.
