GMail and Ajax websites not working with Firefox 2.0 backend

Thanks for your bug. I've forwarded it upstream: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353115

Probably should be renamed to something more general, see upstream bug.

Same problem here with this AJAX site: http://xperiment.programming-designs.com/ys/
It works in Firefox 1.99+2.0b1+dfsg-1ubuntu3 and doesn't with 2.16.0-0ubuntu1 .

That works fine for me on edgy now. Could anybody still having the issue try to debug according to upstream comments about that?

Still having problem with http://xperiment.programming-designs.com/ys/
Works in firefox and doesn't in epiphany.

Firefox: 1.99+2.0b1+dfsg-1ubuntu3
Epiphany: 2.16.0-0ubuntu1

I will try to rebuild firefox and epiphany according to upstream comments, not sure when exactly.

What on the site doesn't work for you? I can make "shouts" and toggle the info display on and off.

I'm using the same version as you are.

In epiphany, I don't see the whole chat, just the graphics above and below. It doesn't even work for me when I start epiphany using 'epiphany --private-instance' (that is factory default settings, without my own settings).

I will get to this (debug build etc.) on Monday, I'm leaving for the weeking now.

I recently updated 2 machines from Dapper to Edgy. One exhibits this behavior, the other doesn't.

Renamed to be more general and easier to find.

I have same problem on google videos, they dont play on epiphany but firefox does.

From epiphany's error viewer when trying new firefox and epiphany versions (1.99+2.0b2+dfsg-1ubuntu3 and 2.16.1-0ubuntu1) with http://xperiment.programming-designs.com/ys/

Javascript error in on line 0:
uncaught exception: [Exception... "Failure" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: http://xperiment.programming-designs.com/ys/js/jquery.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 14" data: no]

Is it any help?

Also disabling (and restarting) all extensions in Tools->Extensions didn't help.

Epiphany version: 2.16.1-0ubuntu2

I get this behaviour too, but oddly enough, only on two of the three machines I upgraded to edgy. The ones that work are x86 machines, whereas, the one where e.g. gmail does not work is an amd k7 (*not* amd64).

It looks that the problem is related to some leftover files in /usr/lib/firefox/components, especially compreg.dat. Removing compreg.dat resolved this problem for me. Does this work for you as well?

See upstream bug for further details.

Removing /usr/lib/firefox/components/compreg.dat fixed it for me.

Fixed it for me, too. Thanks, Jan!

issue due to /usr/lib/firefox/components/compreg.dat being around apparently, might be a new sort of duplicate of bug #30791

It also worked for me, too.

So far, I've only removed /usr/lib/firefox/components/compreg.dat. Are there any other leftover files which need to be deleted?

Is anyone still having trouble with firefox and this issue anymore? Or is it now and epiphany issue? I can't reproduce with firefox.

Thanks
David

This has always been epiphany only problem, at least for me. Removing leftover files (see above) solves this. Hasn't appeared for me again yet.

Maybe it's better to mark it as a duplicate of bug #30791
