User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12

I noticed while trying to reinstall Joomla (www.joomla.org) version 1.0.14... On Step 1 where inputting database info you can not proceed.  The Javascript ends with a confirm(bla bla bla) function call... and the confirm dialog never shows up... it did in prioir Firefox version and does in IE7.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Joomla 1.0.14
2.Proceed thru installation until you get to the screen with the database info... 
3.Fill in the correct DB info then try to press the Next >> button in the upper right
4.Nothing appears to happen... It should show a confirm dialog asking if all the info is correct then allow you to either go on or not



May be a simpler test to verify.  Also can not uninstall components or other things in Joomla now which have a similar confirm() call in their javascript

Still no confirmation?  I have verified this on other Joomla versions and on other sites with confirm() statements.

Attachment: Simple HTML file with alert and confirm javascript on buttons... none work in Firefox 2.0.0.12 but all work in ie6/7

This is a test file to help confirm this issue.  As noted in Firefox 2.0.0.12 none of the buttons do anything... in ie6 and ie7 they all work as expected

Turns out on the machine I was having trouble... I uninstalled the iMacros and Total Validator firefox plugins and the problem went away... so it is one of those 2 firefox plugins that is causing the issue.
