Do we really care?

Comment 2

[Arpad Borsos [:Swatinem]]

Tbpl should work in "modern" browsers, which I consider IE9 to be.

On the other hand, I don't develop on windows and can't update my gaming installation to sp1 somehow. Maybe I can take a look into it once I set up a fresh system from scratch.

Similar bug for Opera: bug 597936.
Hopefully, some issues are similar.

Timeless, by any chance, do you have something popping in the error console?

tbpl still relies on cross-origin XHR, right?  The IE way is XDomainRequest.  (Think Different.)

And if this is indeed what's happening, the answer to comment 1 is no!  In fact, I'd like to go ahead and say that we're not going to use XDomainRequest in the TBPL code at all.

Testing locally (using the baseURL trick to run from local filesystem):

Latest Nightly works fine; however IE9 hangs loading the page.

Don't know if this is an IE9 thing (and IE10 would work fine if I were using it), or whether it is due to running from the local filesystem.

Sorry, comment 6 was meant for bug 771055.

Comment 5 + TBPL 2 coming anyway = wontfix
