405159 - SourceForge's "Select mirror" feature doesn't work, loading screen never goes away

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: General, defect, P2)

Description

[Gábor Stefanik]

In Firefox 3.0 beta 1 (on 10.5 Leopard, not tested other systems), the "Select a different mirror" link of SourceForge download pages is completely unusable. Clicking the link causes the page to turn grey, and a spinning circle appears with the text Loading. This is normal, the problem is that it never loads. I suspect a problem with XMLHttpRequest. (The download page works fine in v2.0.0.9, hence regression.)

fist time the clock is spinning indefinitely, escaping and trying again makes the clock appearing stuck.

adding Fx2-Parity as it's working in 2.x. and giving a better demo url (without downloading).

2 errors in the console, not sure if they are relevant:

They certainly seem relevant. Need someone to look into this further - a reduced testcase or regression range would help. Bug 382509 might be related.

I have some connections with SF.net, so I'll poke some people.

This looks like my problem.

*bump*

Mr. Hinojosa (Sr. Manager Support, SourceForge.net) closed my Ticket over there stating:
"We have investigated. As yet, Firefox v3 is not yet on our list of supported browsers as it is still in beta. This is the root of this issue."

-> is this bug to be moved to Tech Ev.?

[Blake Kaplan (:mrbkap) (inactive)]

No, this was fixed a while ago by bug 397855 (did you try again in a recent nightly?).
