287871 - When logged in, Firefox renders the logout button as login

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[russell bell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

Log onto one's account at fidelity.com (sorry, I won't give you my password.)
The logout button on the top of the page displays the login graphic, but
acts as a logout.  The page itself has it wrong:

<td width="58"><a href="https://scs.fidelity.com/tpv/logout_redirect.shtml"
target="_top"><img src="index1t_data/login.gif" alt="" border="0" height="27"
width="58"></a></td>

(from a saved page produced by a javascript) so  fidelity.com may make a mistake
that causes it to construct the wrong stuff.  It comes out right in IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.login to fidelity account
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
displayed login button for logout function

Expected Results:  
displayed logout button for logout function

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

This still happens with the FireFox 1.0.7 I downloaded on 2005 September 27

This happens with version 1.5b1 but does NOT happen with version 1 on
Windoze.

This problem also happens with Opera 8.5 for Linux:  so maybe it
is a bug at a lower level.

Russell, are you able to reproduce this bug using Firefox 2.0.0.3?

Russell, I had someone test this using both Firefox 2.0.0.3 and using the latest trunk. In general, if you see a problem in another non-Gecko-based browser (in this case, Opera), it's probably a website issue. Also, it could be something with your profile as well. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager

I'm resolving this bug as WORKSFORME.

<@dolske> Fidelity WFM on OS X, branch & trunk. It's just a text link now, though.
<@dolske> I'd tend to think that for a thing like that, it's just a website issue.
<@dolske> ...triply so since he says it happens in Opera too.

And how did it turn out for him/her?
Why does it work in Firefox on Windozzzze?

I know about Profile Manager, but I can't see anything
there I associate with this symptom.

Fidelity has told me they don't guarantee their site
will work for non-I.E. browsers, so I don't think much
of them.
