Using DW8 and Mac OS 10.3.9. Recently did a Java security update.
All of a sudden Dreamweaver is unable to give a proper browser preview in some browsers. Safari, I.E. and Opera all work ok but Camino, Firefox and Netscape only work if Dreamweaver launches the app, but then I only get only one preview. Once the app is open, Dreamweaver generates an incorrect temp address, for instance adding an extra /....... file:///mydrive/Users/..........
The browser will show things properly IF the local address is right. For some reason once the browser is open, I get a "page cannot be displayed - check the address" type of message.
Up until today I never noticed the temp path, but it always worked on all browsers. I have trashed every pref file I could think of but it still does this. Any thoughts on what's going on and how to fix it? I can preview by correcting the address but it's a pain.
I'm not even sure if I can blame it on Dreamweaver since some of the browsers work as normal.
