771815 - Firefox 15 and 16 causes the Advanced Wireless page of the Broadcom 6328 firmware to display settings that are hidden in other browsers

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Danial Horton]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20120706075126

Steps to reproduce:

Navigated to the Advanced Wireless configuration page on a Bipac 7700n (100% stock broadcom 6328 firmware, apart from the branding)


Actual results:

15 and 16 introduce issues with the advanced wireless settings page, causing settings to appear that should not be available on this modem, and some settings are not loaded properly


Expected results:

The issues reported above are not present in other web browsers according to my testing.

Any devs in aus want to take a look? the modem in question is now sitting unused since updating to a 7800n, so i can ship it interstate if necessary.

Hello Danial,

I just found this regression bug, but I think it is no more actual.
can you please confirm? or is there still a problem with actual Firefox?
so i will try to reproduce.

thanks for your help and sorry for the late response.

Hey, sorry, i missed the email (went to junk)

this issue was already resolved by broadcom in a firmware update for the affected units.
