TYPO3 Core

fixed in latest SVN revision 3155

Sorry for reopening - that was a fast patch... but this might be a solution for Typo3 4.2.x only.

There's also a problem with older Typo3 versions. I'm not sure if it's a firefox or Typo3 "bug" - I just want to say: there's a problem and when ff 3.0 get's released the problem should be fixed... (at least for the still supported Typo3 versions...)

I'll do some more checks (also with windows/ff).

Downloaded latest SVN revision 3159

Issue is still present and blocks the usage of the backend when using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020514 Firefox/3.0b3

Happening with Firefox 3 beta 3 on Windows Vista 64 Bit aswell.. but Firefox seems to be the only browser affected.

I still can't reproduce this with FF3b3 on OS X and Windows. please let me know if you have some special settings.

please also note that a fix for 4.1 will be only available after the 4.2 final release

or even better: please write down what exactly you do to make this happen. also try the old backend by changing backend.php to alt_main.php and see whether it's happening there, too. also check the startup module settings in your user settings.

if this is fixed for you with TYPO3 4.2, please also report so that we can finally mark this issue as resolve. You can the open a new issue for older versions of TYPO3 and set them as duplicate of this one so that we can keep track of them and also target them for 4.1.6 and 4.0.5.

I rechecked again with an empty profile (ff 3.0b3 on Linux):
Typo3 4.2.0b1 (same version as above):
backend.php: -> left frame/column dissappears
alt_main.php: -> all 3 frames/columns stay there -> it works well!
Typo3 4.1.5 & 4.0.8:
alt_main.php: -> left frame/column dissappears

strange, the old way works on the new version...

of course you must not use beta1, but a current checkout from SVN!

ok, svn 3214 - still the same:
- backend.php > error
alt_main.php -> works

what do you do to get this error? what's your startup module?

I log into the BE of typo3, no special startup module - just the welcome & overview screen.
then I click on Web/Page (Web/Seite - "Seiten-Info und Inhalt") > then it happens: left "frame" dissappears, instead the middle "frame" gets left and the remaining is the right/content "frame" - but I cannot click in the tree"frame" (no reaction in the content)...

console.debug($('content').contentDocument.getElementsByName('nav_frame')[0]);

I just created a new bug entry #18290 for versions older than 4.2. Apparently this needs to be solved differently, although the reason for the problem seems to be the same of course...

Same problem here, svn rev. 3304. Firefox 3 beta 3 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
- alt_main.php works.
- backend.php does not work. Every time I click on any submodule of the Web-module, the module menu disappears.

I tested again -
with typo3_src-4.2.0beta3 the problem seems gone - at least on ff 3 beta 4.

Seems to be some sort of mix firefox beta and typo3 beta...

Maybe others can confirm?

Just saw in the other bug http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=7646 that this is rather a firefox problem (or at least a change in ff)

It also happens on TYPO3 v3.8...

TYPO3 3.8 is not supported anymore, move along =)

You could of course help yourself by backporting the patch

Anybody can confirm this issue with Firefox 3 beta 4? If there's no confirmation within a week from now on I'm going to close this issue.

checked with latest trunk (3414) issue is still present with firefox 3 beta 4

if i use the beta3 package, the backend works as expected with firefox 3 beta 4

"if i use the beta3 package, the backend works as expected with firefox 3 beta 4 " +1

so this can be closed as it is resolved in beta3?

yes
Error non reproducible on T3 beta3, Fx2b4 on Win Vista 32 Bit T3 installer

if I understand the post of Michael Wallner right, then the issue did reappear after beta3 - so we need to check this again.

no - trunk is not relevant as we work on 4_2-branch, trunk will be updated after 4.2 final release

Problem still exists in 4_2-branch, revision 3443 in Firefox 3 beta 4 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron.

Firebug reports the following:

top.fsMod is undefined
alt_db_navframe.php?&currentSubScript=mod%2Fweb%2Fperm%2Findex.php()alt_db_navframe.p... (line 123)
[Break on this error] Tree.highlightActiveItem("",top.fsMod.navFrameHighlightedID["web"]);

Line 123: Tree.highlightActiveItem("",top.fsMod.navFrameHighlightedID["web"]);

tested with BETA4 - no problems.

I do have those problems, using BETA4.

with a pure core installation? if you have any extensions installed - which are that?

I just reproduced with a fresh 4.1.6 src+dummy installation.
Firefox is running on Windows XP in my case.

for typo3 versions before 4.2 there is another issue:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=7646

here, we only discussing about Typo3 4.2 (beta) with the new firefox 3 (beta)

oops, sorry for the confusion :-\

ekki, nevertheless, what extensions do you have installed in 4.2?

Sorry Ingo, also the first test was not with 4.2 but 4.1.6. Stupid me.

I rechecked this issue with latest from 4-2 and it works. I am looking into what went wrong when I tested previously, but for Typo3 the problem seems solved. (and thus I retract comments 19849 and 20434 above).
