Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Allen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3

The following problem occurs with Firefox 3.5 on Mac 10.5 and 10.6 The
problem does not occur with Safari on 10.6 or on Windows version of Firefox.

In my Blogger blogs I've enabled the one-click edit function which is
shown by a pencil icon. One click on the pencil should put me in edit
mode. However, Firefox 3.5.3 does not show the pencil. I have to click
the Sign In button which puts me into my Dashboard where I can select a
New Post. I do not have to actually sign in since I'm already signed in.
The problem is the missing pencil icon. As I mentioned FF 3.5.3  works
fine in Safari on Mac 10.6 and in Windows. Just not in the Mac 10.5 and 10.6


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Sign in Blogger as the owner of the blog
2.Display a blog that you own and have rights to edit 
Actual Results:  
The pencil icon isn't displayed on Firefox 3.5. It is displayed on Safari 4.03, and Firefox 3.5 on Windows XP.

Expected Results:  
A pencil should be displayed. A click on the pencil would put me in edit mode.

I have this issue as well. This may help them find out why... I created a new account on my Mac logged in and it works - the pencil is showing. On my broken account I tried to find and delete the .plist file but couldn't find it.
