User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

I upgraded to Firefox 4.0. Now my homepage @ My MSN displays, but my customized segments of the page have no content. The ability to add new content is non responsive as well as the menu feature of each content box. My sports scores, stock to watch, Denver Post newspaper headlines and movie theater listing are missing or nonfunctional. The original My MSN page is there but I have no control of the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click internet access.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
I click on my Firefox internet icon. The My MSN home page loads, but all control functions of the page are inoperable. Clicking on add content, content menu features are dead and do not function. Some content boxes do have items displayed such as AP News Headlines and clicking on a specific story does open the article but other content boxes such as The Denver Post Newspaper Headlines are there but no headlines appear. In addition the menu button for that box does't respond to a mouse click.

Expected Results:  
Nothing!

There should be the ability to access and costomize each homepage content box.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile

I tried both safe mode and new profile and I have the same problem.

I can confirm that clicking "+Add a Page", "Customize", "Add Content" at the top or "Menu" on any of the modules at http://my.msn.com/default.aspx has no effect on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110406 Firefox/4.2a1pre ID:20110406030427

Does it work if you spoof the user agent? Any errors in the error console?

Comment 5

[Bob]

Tim, I have no idea what you are talking about in your two questions. You are beyond my knowledge level. Sorry!

Sounds likely that it had a custon bind() with different semantics....

Comment 10

[Alice0775 White]

I also now notice this on Windows7 with Google Chrome 10.0.648.204 and 12.0.729.0 canary build .

Does that mean this is an evangelism bug?

Comment 12

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I would think so, yes.

Comment 13

[Alice0775 White]

This was already fixed by Microsoft, I think.
