1334273 - Facebook cannot write in text field (sometimes)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Yani]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170126030209

Steps to reproduce:

Attempt to write in comment field (where comment is something within a post thread)


Actual results:

Facebook prevent text entry in comment field on user page. You are simply blocked from writing in the field.

It seems like a javaScript error. Most often I notice this after those message overlays FB uses... 'XXXX just comment on ZZZ'.

No special link is required and the issue is intermittent but annoyingly frequent. Should be pretty easy to confirm by any FB user.

NOT tested in safe mode as yet. 


Expected results:

Hi Yani,

I am unable to reproduce the issue you are experiencing on the latest Firefox release (51.0.1) or on the latest Nightly (54.0a1). I am able to comment on posts, threads, replies; I've also tried typing in comment boxes after getting that FB notification.

Could you please try to reproduce on the latest Nightly using a new, clean profile and maybe even safe mode, to eliminate custom settings and addons as a possible cause?

Marking this as Resolved - Incomplete due to the lack of response from the reporter.
If anyone can still reproduce it on latest versions, feel free to reopen the issue and provide more information.

I'd say it was resolved as I've not seen the issue in recent versions.
