This build has made Netvibes.com Feeds useless to use.
You cant expand or collapse any RSS feeds.
This was working fine in yesterdays build and with todays latest release of Netvibes.com

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit Netvibes.com
2. Select any component that uses RSS for it's content
3. Can't be opened.

Actual Results:  
Try to expand any feeds with the global toggle and try to expand a single feed.

Neither work

Expected Results:  
Should be able to open Feeds

Hiding non-security bugs only adds delay -- the security team isn't going to bother with it and no one else can see it.

If this really did just show up between the 9/29 and 10/1 builds then it's a possible regression from bug 354828

1. New profile, load firefox
2. Go to http://www.netvibes.com/
3. Click on 'My featured feeds' in the left hand column (near the top) so the menu expands
4. Click on a feed

Expected:
Area opens up with feed's contents

Actual:
Area opens up, but is empty

Works
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/2006093003
BonEcho/2.0

Doesn't Work
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/2006100103

(Same regression range as bug 355026)

Error console reports:
Error: td has no properties

Requesting blocking for 2.0 since this is a recent regression.

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

I also confirm this. It appears to be an Ajax-y regression, has absolutely nothing to do with our feed handler--sorry for misplaced suspicion. Mano :-)

brendan's js engine changes are another possible culprit.

Netvibe's semi-obfuscated code (at least it's not encrypted) doesn't help in figuring out what they're trying to do.

This is very likely a dupe of bug 355026.

Comment 5

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

Yeah, the "fix" that I mention in bug 355026 comment 4 also fixes this, and the exception is consistent with the one from bug 355026.
