This appears to work with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007111220 Minefield/3.0b2pre

On Firefox 2 it works too, but sometimes it gets stuck. Trunk builds: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

Hello!

You can use the following while the bug is being fixed:

onclick="if(window.sidebar){this.value=event.target.value;this.fireEvent('onchange')}"

for "fireEvent()" under FF you can use Ilya Lebedev's DOMExtensions.js

Works fine for me on WindowsXP Firefox 2.x and 3.x with the test page (note: which doesn't have event handlers set)

This bug is fixed in Richfaces 3.2.X builds

Comment 6

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
