The area where maps should be shown shows a "Loading..." message and never gets out of it.

Additionally, if you search something for example "150 W University Blvd, melbourne, FL" it seems like it tries to do something, but the map never displays.

Checked with Explorer and FF2 and it works.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open url: maps.google.com
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Page not showing up properly

Expected Results:  
Show page and execute searches properly

"150 W University Blvd, melbourne, FL" works fine for me.
Did you try safe-mode or a new profile?

It doesn't work for me too with 3.0 RC2

Google maps haven't worked for me on 3.0 or 3.0.1. The fault is exactly the same as described above and is not restricted to any particular search phrase - no searches work.

This fault is consistently reproducible and I do not have the fault with any other browsers.

I'm currently using Firefox version 3.0.1 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1)

Same results with Google Maps.  Displays gray block with no image and says done at bottom.
Using Firefox 3.0.1 on Windows XP ver 5.1 build 2600

This stopped working for me AFTER I installed Firefox 3.0.1.

All I get now is a GREY screen, where I would see the map before.

This problem is now exhibited after the latest FF2 update -- damn!!
I updated FF2 a few hours ago -- funny, I'm now at 2.0.0.18 but IIRC, I was previously at 2.0.0.18 -- and now Google Maps does not display maps.
I get this: "Still loading... Slow? Try Basic HTML".
I do not get an hourglass.
Status bar shows "Done".
Displays gray block where the map should be.
OS is XP-SP2.
Let me emphasize.
I'm NOT running FF3.
I'm running FF2, latest update -- it is broken!!
(Damn, I wish there was a way to go back to previous before the latest update.)

I believe this Launchpad bug report is related to this one.

This bug report is NOT related to the above bug.  I am getting this bug with x86 Windows 2000 with both Firefox3 and Seamonkey2 (beta).  Google maps refuses to display any maps, even with Javascript fully enabled.  It works fine in IE6.
