Attachment: Capture d’écran 2012-03-14 à 15.44.53.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2
Build ID: 20120215223356

Steps to reproduce:

We (i work in an IT support) use a web version of Oracle Content Services V10, a web equivalent of Oracle Drive V10
The only browser that could display the content services part is Internet Explorer, not Firefox, Safari or Chrome works.
On Mac OS X the only browser that could display it, is Camino.


Actual results:

When we click on the "content services" link, in the new window that opens there is only lines and no content. (See the lest of the capture)


Expected results:

A new window should open and show the different folders. (See the right of the capture)
It works in Camino 2.0.9 but no longer in 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.

Given that it doesn't work in other browsers either, it sounds like it relied on some bug in Gecko versions earlier than 1.9.2.

We can't control what browsers other vendors support. If you want to use something that doesn't work in modern browsers, you'll need to use an old browser for that application (Camino 2.0, or probably Firefox 3.0). Keep in mind that those browsers versions have known security issues though, so you'll want to restrict their use to just this one application.

I'm gonna kick this over to TE for further attention, because something like this failing in current Firefox versions is kind of a big deal.

AT, do you have contacted Oracle's support? Did you get an answer?

You speak of Camino, but does the same thing happened with Firefox? (If so, since which version?)

From the initial report: "The only browser that could display the content services part is Internet Explorer, not Firefox, Safari or Chrome works." And from what I can tell it came out in 2005.

This doesn't sound like a Gecko evangelism issue, it sounds like an old piece of software that was never updated for the last 7 years of changes in browser technology.
