Here is a video showing the issue.... I re-installed Firefox on Ubuntu and checked in two other browsers and can confirm this is specific to Firefox 22 on Ubuntu but also did not occur in earlier versions of Firefox.

Could you run mozregression to find a possible regression range and provide the changeset, please.

Comment 3

[Benjamin Kerensa [:bkerensa]]

I was unable to find a regression and more specifically I think this is related to the recent major overhaul Google+ did. I think they changed something in their design thats just not meshing well with FF.

Try Aurora23.0a2. this is duplicate of Bug 52500 if Aurora works fine.

Alice, can you please activate G+ account and narrow down the regression range?

Is that still reproducible in current Nightly? I landed something that, I believe, should have fixed that kind of problems.

Sorry, as Alice in comment 7, I assumed the problem was coming from bug 52500. I will need a reduced test case to look into this.

Comment 16

[Alice0775 White]

I cannot provide reduced test case.

(I think that Google person is best to prepare testcase :)

Please don't wait on a reporter to help with a test - it's really important that we reproduce locally and start investigating as soon as possible, given the size of this web property.

Hi Alex,

Let me know how to produce a testcase. I am currently now seeing Facebook image upload also does not work although that could be a seperate bug. But yeah the severity of this is pretty high considering the amount of people who visit these two properties.

Comment 21

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

Benjamin, could you check if the Facebook problem has the same regression range?

Attachment: Reduced testcase

Comment 23

[Mounir Lamouri (:mounir)]

The problem is that the created HTMLInputElement doesn't have any presContext so we stop early in ::PreHandleEvent() and ::PostHandleEVent(). The reasons why we have those limitations and how easy it would be to remove them are not really known to me. Olli probably knows more.

I assume that fixing this for Beta is probably not a good idea. I think there would be two alternatives for Beta (and Aurora?): backing out the patches or override ::Click() to show a file picker if the element doesn't have a prescontext at that time. Olli, would that be a safe workaround?

Comment 24

[Mounir Lamouri (:mounir)]

Related bugs are:
- bug 234455 which started preventing events when there is no prescontext;
- bug 329509 which seems to be about stopping that.

Comment 25

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

So how did this work before the changes? bug 329509 is definitely not something for beta.

Comment 26

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

Could we just put back the old nsHTMLInputElement::Click() ?

(In reply to Olli Pettay [:smaug] from comment #26)
> Could we just put back the old nsHTMLInputElement::Click() ?

As said in comment 23, I believe this could work. I would be fine with backing out the required patch for Beta and think a bit more for Aurora/Nightly.

Note: I am unassigning myslef given that I will be mostly offline until the 12th, feel free te reassign me if it is fine having this being looked at in 10 days.

Comment 28

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

I think we have to fix this asap.

I think the FB issue was just a glitch because its working for me now and I have not had any version change on FF.

I totally agree I had hoped there would be a patch out for this by today since its been a few weeks now that I have actually had to use Chromium for photo uploads on G+ and I imagine some users could be contemplating switching completely.

Notably a few linux distros like Ubuntu are shipping Firefox 22.0 as stable so this is affecting a very large amount of users probably in the millions.

Google+ not work.
Facebook work fine.

Comment 37

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

This landed to mozilla-inbound yesterday, and should land to mozilla-central today, so
the next nightly, or nightly after that should have the fix.
Then the patch needs approval before it can land to aurora and beta.
