Unable to add toolbar items to posts

unixfool · 04-29-2009, 02:59 PM

Hi,

Today I upgraded to FF v3.0.10. I immediately noticed that I can't add things such as bold text, bullet lists, paragraph arrangements, or code tags to my posts.

I restarted my browser sessions and cleared my cookies. I logged out of LQ forums and then logged back in. I've turned off NoScript. I can't even edit my previous posts from FF on your site. I've also tested other forums with similar layouts to LQ (Postnuke-type CMS sites)...those work fine. LQ doesn't...and only LQ.

I'm at a loss as to what's going on. Maybe FF's recent code is affecting how I interact with LQ forums? I don't see anyone else reporting issues, though.

I'm using FF v3.0.10 with no issues on LQ. Make sure you test after disabling all extensions, local proxies, etc.

I did some testing. I disabled all extensions and add-ons, ensured there were no proxies set (I typically do not proxy anyways)...still doesn't work.

I went so far as to uninstall and remove the existing folders after the removal of the software (yeah, this is on a Windows machine -- work machine). I then reinstalled a fresh copy of v3.0.10 (without the plugins and such)...still doesn't work. There is nothing between my machine and LQ that is filtering content and if there is, I probably wouldn't even be able to reach the site.

I filed a bug report to the FF dev team after perusing the error console logs, but I don't know if it is a browser coding issue or a site issue.

I did find multiple errors that appear to be specific to LQ and javascript:

Code:

Note that I can create posts and respond to them, but can't use the edit features within the toolbar.

Any other site is fine.
