Maybe it's just bogus UA sniffing in Websphere?
Does it work if you use a fake UA string?

Comment 3

[Andrew Nady]

By UA you mean user-agent, than yes, I've tried changing to IE6 or IE7, but the results are the same.

Have to revert to Microsoft IE or Firefox 3.5
....
>I've tried changing to IE6 or IE7, but the results are the same.
Wouldn't it be more logical to try the Firefox 3.5 UA ?
Did that work in Firefox3.6 ?

Note: The UA between FF3.x and FF4.0 changed (no, i don't mean the version number)

Comment 5

[Andrew Nady]

Yes it is working in 3.6. 
I've tried UA 3.5.5 with 4.0 but the problem persists.

Are there any error messages in the Error Console? (in Firefox Tools menu)

Below is the error. A green arrow is pointing to the letter "x" <xul:popup>

Remote XUL is no longer supported as of Firefox 4.
There is however a whitelist so you can enable it on a per domain basis.
There is an add-on to help you manage that list:

Comment 9

Andrew, please report this problem to IBM.

Comment 10

[Andrew Nady]

Confirmed, the add-on works as it should.
When remote XUL is enabled for domain the pull-down menus function as on FF3.X

Mats, thanks for your input, I'll submit a PMR to IBM with regards to this issue and will reference this bug report.

It has probably been solved by now.
Reopen if the issue persists.

As for WebSphere 
http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/portalserver
They seem to be at version 8.5

As for support of Firefox by IBM the policy is expressed here
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21580984


resolving as INVALID, because the product has certainly changed.
