Serious issues on Ubuntu with latest Firefox

April 1st, 2008 by Osman S Borutecene

There was a Firefox update for Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. The update was from Firefox 2.0.0.12 to Firefox 2.0.0.13. That was a security update as usual.

After the update, Firefox has gone berserk. I thought that it just stemmed from a failure in the 2.0.0.13 issue but after I tried it on Windows XP (thanks to Virtualbox) there wasn’t any problem.

The problem occurs on web sites with ajax applications. I was in trouble with Facebook. Ajax in Facebook didn’t work properly on Firefox. It works very well on Epiphany and other Gecko based browsers. I have also tried Firefox 3.0 Alpha and there wasn’t any problem either.

I hope this will be fixed soon.
