Firefox update 2.0.0.15 => JS security problems !

marinew Jul 2, 2008 8:47 AM

Hi,

I just updated from Firefox 2.0.0.14 to 2.0.0.15, that corrects come security problems.
But now, some RichFaces (3.1.6) components seems not to work anymore.

Here is a JavaScript error I get :

uncaught exception: Permission refusÃƒÂ©e d'obtenir la propriÃƒÂ©tÃƒÂ© HTMLDocument.defaultView
http://localhost:8080/gcm-web-patients/faces/a4j_3_1_6.GA/org/ajax4jsf/framework.pack.js
Line 2148

getElementsByTagName("INPUT", span#ajax-view-state)framework.pack.js (line 2148)
processResponse(Object _query=Object _documentElement=html options=Object)framework.pack.js (line 2408)
onreadystatechange()

try{E=C.selectNodes('.//*[local-name()="'+A+'"]');

Is this problem identified by RichFaces team ?
Is there a workaround for this ?
I wanted to go back to Firefox 2.0.0.14, but I can't find how :-(

I'm in a hurry, as my webapps is unusable.
Thanks for any help / idea....

I found the workaround : download Firefox 2.0.0.14 and install it in place of 2.0.0.15.

To download it, go to Firefox 2.0.0.x download page : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Choose the language/OS you want, copy the corresponding download URL and replace "2.0.0.15" by "2.0.0.14".

However, the problem JS error in RichFaces remain entirely in Firefox 2.0.0.15...

Nobody else had such errors with RichFaces 3.1.6 and Firefox 2.0.0.15 ?

dear marinew, have you tried FireFox 3.x? Unfortunately, we don't support FireFox 2.x after 3.x has been released.

Thank you very much for your reply.

I didn't know support of Firefox 2 was stopped.
I didn't try with Firefox 3 as we use some extensions that are not yet upgraded to Firefox 3.

Sorry, it seems that this error didn't come from RichFaces at all, but from external JavaScript.

Regarding Firefox 2 support, it seems there are contradictory information :

Hi,

Firefox 2 is still supported. I've looked at 3.2.2.CR3 in FF2.0.16 - tooltip attached to input; it seems to work ok. Please create JIRA issue and file page code there if the issue is caused by RF.
