314437 - On occasion a number of seemingly unrelated functions stop working that occur from a "mouse click"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 309775

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[RobertJ]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

Three things I've noticed multiple times that stop working all of a sudden (there may be more):

1 - This should open a new window when clicking

<A HREF="../photos/photo_17.jpg" ONCLICK="window.open(this.href,'','width=400,height=300','yes'); return false;"><IMG SRC="../photos/thumb_17.jpg" HEIGHT="69" WIDTH="92" Alt=""></A>

instead it shows up in the same window.

2 - Developer Tools "Clear Cache" does nothing.

3 - Selecting Cookie Culler in the Tools menu does nothing. No dropdown menu.

It's almost like the "click" does nothing.  All this is "fixed" by relaunching FF. Again, all these happen at the same time. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Reproducible: Sometimes




I'm running Mac 10.4.2

If you go to this site

http://stpaulgenesee.org/level1/level2/paul1-7-7.html

As you click on each image they pop up enlarged in a new window. When you click on the 13th image, it opens in the same page.

I have done this twice and it happened both times.  After that, a number of other functions also don't work as I mentioned in my previous post.

Please try with a recent nightly branch build from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8

Bug 309775 has been fixed after beta 2 was released, and it may well be you're hitting that bug.

Please post the UA string (from Help > About) with if you want to confirm/post more details about this bug.

"Developer Tools" and "13th image"? That's bug 309775 for surely sure.
