423068 - Firefox 3.0b4 doesn't show images displayed via javascript

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 411831

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b4) Gecko/2008030318 Firefox/3.0b4

Arkel uses javascript to display a series of revolving snapshots of items for sale.  These images aren't visible when using Firefox 3.0b4, but display fine under 2.0.0.12.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox 3.0b4 using the "-safe-mode" option.
2. Browse to the provided URL

Actual Results:  
No images are displayed above the "add to cart" image.

Expected Results:  
A periodically changing image of the relevant product should be visible.

I'm not particularly javascript-saavy, so it's certainly possible this is caused by a website bug.  The fact that it displays fine using Firefox 2.0.0.12 makes me suspect otherwise, however.

I'm having problems displaying the original PNG screenshot, so here's a JPG version

Greg, can you see the image when using the image URL?

That's weird... it's blank when I follow the link initially, but displays OK the first time I do a reload.  Following any subsequent reloads, however, it's missing again.

The latest nightly yielded the exact same behavior.

I get the same behaviour with Firefox 3.0b5, but couldn't reproduce it using the portable release under WinXP.  At this point I'm assuming that it's either a Linux-specific issue, or a subtle incompatibility with the shared libraries on my system.

looks like this is a dupe of bug 411831

Yes, bug 411831 seems to fit the pattern I'm seeing. Thanx!
