User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14 I think this problem is different from Bug 418526, 430106, but it may be somehow connected. Each time I switch to the example page (it was the only web page that I found with this problem), I am unable to click and go to different tab. However if I switch the tab using keyboard Ctrl+Tab, it works very well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open the page. Wait until the "buttons" show up (buttons - Share your ideas, Control your work,etc.) 2.Try to click on different tab. Nothing happens. 3.Push Ctrl+Tab and the web page shows up.
Doesn't seem (completely) resolved in Firefox 3; just requires a fair bit of clicking for anything to happen, but it does. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Anyway, is it ok, that it needs "fair bit of clicking"? Especially, when it perfectly works with keyboard. Why would mouse clicking be any different? I suppose it is a bug.
No, it's not okay; took me quite by surprise in fact. That would indeed suggest to me that it were a bug.
I tried the new released version of firefox 3.0 and it looks like it is all ok now. No "extra clicking" is needed, everything seems pretty fine.
Resolving per comment 4. Note a similar bug 416892.
