Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Davany]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.5.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100202 Firefox/3.6.2

With Firefox 1.6.2, when logged in to Joomla 1.5 as admin, any attempt to create a Section, a Category, or an Article fails. When the Save button is clicked, no error message is given, and no response is received. Nothing happens. The only way out is to cancel. 
Downgrading to Firefox 1-5-8 (or using Internet Explorer 8) solves the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a site with Joomla 1.5.15
2. Log in as admin
3. Try to create a Section, a Category, or an Article
Actual Results:  
See details above.

Expected Results:  
What should happen is that the item is saved, and a "saved successfully" message is displayed.

I first tested by disabling all add-ons in 1.6.2, but it made no difference.

You can also try to reproduce in Firefox 4 Beta 8 or later, there are many improvements in the new version, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html
