This problem appears when using the Django Admin (but may affect other webpages as well) with TinyMCE in FF3.5. The basic issue is that after TinyMCE is loaded, the call: document.getElementsByTagName('script') returns only TinyMCE scripts and doesn't return any of the scripts that were originally in the HTML.

The Django ticket is here and explains the details: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11967

I can probably come up with a simpler test case if that ticket isn't sufficient, just let me know.

Did something change in Firefox 3.5 in the way that it handles the list of scripts that are loaded? or is this likely to be a TinyMCE bug?

Reproducible: Always

A test case would be useful.

Sorry, Django has gone with a workaround so I don't have much else to add on the ticket. You should feel free to close as invalid.

Okay. If it pops up again, feel free to reopen.
