Jupgrade for Joomla didn’t work under chrome

We are migrating a site from Joomla 1.5.25 to Joomla 2.5. When I went to run the jupgrade extension, it seemed to just hang. There was an box with about 6 boxes under it with captions such as “Checking” and “Downloading”. I checked everything and it seemed to be configured properly.

I tried the upgrade using Firefox instead of Chrome and it worked! That was an extremely easy solution.”

• change from ENABLED to DISABLED
• APPLY
• Change back from DISABLED to ENABLED.
• SAVE
