Topic reply/new post page all kinds of broken in Firefox 8.0

Post » Fri Dec 09, 2011 11:52 am

Seriously. Does anybody else's post reply / create new topic thread http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/8995/wtfforum.jpg

I'm running Firefox 8.0 with AdBlock Plus, KeeFox and NoScript. NoScript is set to allow all zenimax.com and gamesas.com related scripts. This just started happening this morning--it was fine last night.

Quick reply is equally as broken. And as an added bonus, I can't seem to edit my posts anymore. I click the "edit" button and absolutely nothing happens.

My Error Console is chock full of error messages, too:

Error: Effect is not definedSource File: http://static.zenimax.com/forums/js/ips.topic.jsLine: 1Error: illegal characterSource File: http://static.zenimax.com/forums/js/3rd_party/scriptaculous/scriptaculous-cache.js?zv=2010120301Line: 1Source Code:#ipboard_body Error: ipb.forums.deleteUrls is undefinedSource File: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/180-pc/Line: 341


Oops, somebody broke it? :P

Start Firefox in safe mode (Help->Restart with Addons Disabled) and see if it still happens.

Never mind. Nuking today's cache/history/cookies from orbit seems to have fixed it. :facepalm:

Firefox 8 seems to have a lot of problems. So far, I've experience forum malfunctions, nonfunctional plugins, crashes and a host of other fun things. I finally uninstalled it and reinstalled Firefox 7. Good thing I archive the installation .EXEs.

The problem with Firefox's new release cycle (well, I could write a paper on all the problems related to Firefox's new release cycle... but just one of the big ones) is that old versions get ZERO support as soon as a new version is released. As such old versions quickly get http://secunia.com/advisories/46773/. Before you could stay on an old release and wait for bugs to be worked out with the newer ones, but now that's ill advised. You can go back to 3.6.x though as that's still supported.

Geh, Firefox's new release cycle pisses me off so much.
