Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Alberto Rico]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

If I call the Open method with a XMLHttpRequest object in syncronous mode, it doesn't run the funcion onreadystatechange() (I can't detect if it is in state 1, 2,3 or 4)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Declare a XMLHttpRequest object
2.Put an alert in the onreadystatechange function
3.make a syncronous call
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
it is supposed to display an alert when the object changes its state.

I found in this web more information about this problem (for example, it works if you have firebug installed!):

You're testing with Firefox 2.0? What about with 2.0.0.11 or 3.0b2?

Comment 2

[Alberto Rico]

The error is fixed in 3.0b2 but not in 2.0.0.11

Do you know if this is a regression from Firefox 1.5? If it is not, then the bug probably won't get fixed on the 2.0 branch.

This bug was 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 3.6.3 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

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.x or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.

The bug still exists in Firefox 3.6.8

Confirmed also with FF 3.6.13 on Windows XP SP3.

This seems a duplicate of Bug 313646, which is marked as fixed. Perhaps that bug should be re-opened if the issues still persist, which they seem to based on comment 6 and comment 7.

If you browse in FF 3.6.13 (latest release) to about:buildconfig
you'll see that it was built from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.2/rev/0c159bd1d600

Looking here: http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.2/log/0c159bd1d600/content/base/src/nsXMLHttpRequest.cpp
you'll see that the fix wasn't backported from trunk.

It also isn't there for upcomming FF 3.6.14 ...
