This is a JSF application we are running on our local PC, I do not know how to direct you to it.

I start the application, and click a link.  The first click works correctly, but after that it seems the page is corrupted, most (but not all) CSS styling is gone, and my URL is prefixed with "wyciwyg://0/".  

I saw online that this was a firefox bug, but it appeared that it was fixed and i am seeing it on the most up to date version of Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run my local app!!  not sure what to tell you here. the "report broken web site" link on the help menu is greyed out.  but i have a screen shot if you want me to send it.
2.
3.



email me at [e-mail] or [e-mail] for the screen shot or more info when you get around to looking at this.  

i'm on skype too if that would make things faster.

I put windows XP as the OS, but you can see that my OS is windows 7.  I did that because it is also happening on my co-workers FireFox on XP.

Well, we will make the OS 7 because you reported the bug. You can provide info on the xp stuff to if you want. Can you please post the screenshot to this bug? Also, where did you see that this was a bug? Does this occour when you create a clean test profile for Firefox? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles?s=profile

I added the screen shot.  sorry, I couldn't find that attachment link before.

OS doesn't seem to matter -- It happens in XP and Win 7.  It does not crash when running on Safari (the other one i tested). 

I also tested in on Firefox 3.6 Beta 2 -- and it still crashes the same way.

I created the new TEST profile and it still crashes the same way.

Also, I apologize, I cannot find where I saw this issue "fixed" that I mentioned earlier.  Maybe I was mistaken.

Attachment: this is what it is supposed to look like.

Comment 6

[Matt Pickell]

I added another screen shot of what it is supposed to look like (from Safari)

Also, when it crashes, the Help -> Report broken website like is greyed out and I cannot send information to you that way.

Are you getting a crash report? https://developer.mozilla.org/En/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report

The browser is not crashing.  The page is just getting screwed up when the wysiwyg:// comes up in the URL bar.

If I go to the URL bar, remove the "wyciwyg://#/" part of the URL, and press enter, the page returns to normal operation.

What triggers this "wyciwyg://#/" to appear in the URL?

The user should never see the "What You Cache Is What You Get" URl.
Please don't use the term "crash" if just the browser stops working with your application, the crash term is reserved for application crashes.

Do you see addons listed under tools/addons/ (in that case you have a systemwide addon that installs again in a new profile) ?

I think this will get difficult without a public available testcase

Core/dom or FF/Location bar ?

Comment 11

[Matt Pickell]

Sorry, In my world 'crash' is my application.  It should have occurred to me that a 'crash' on this bug list would be Firefox.. oops.

No, I do not have any system wide addons.  I added a screen shot of the plugins that are installed when i use the TEST profile.  The other tabs (add-ons, extensions, etc) are blank.

Also, I am not sure what you are asking here: "Core/dom or FF/Location bar ?"

The "wyciwyg" shows up in the location bar (the URL)

Ok, here is more information.  I need to look into what is happening here - I can't tell which side the problem is on:

I google "wyciwyg richfaces" and i get some additional people seeing the issue.

Bug 619092 might be the reason "wyciwyg:" is appearing in your address bar. But I don't know if that's the only thing keeping your web app from working in Firefox.

wyciwyg is going away as of bug 1489308, but it seems like it was never entirely clear what was going wrong here.
