FireFox 1.5 not working with webmin

Today I cannot login to webmin. The login page keeps refreshing much faster than I can login.

I believe this is related to my upgrading FireFox to 1.5.

Turning off JavaScript fixes the refresh problem, but I still cannot login.

From FireFox's JavaScript Console:
Code:


Error: Error in parsing value for property 'cursor'.  Declaration dropped.

Source File: https://fw.xxxx.net/index.fpl?frameset=active

Line: 123



Error: Error in parsing value for property 'cursor'.  Declaration dropped.

Source File: https://fw.xxxx.net/index.fpl?frameset=active

Line: 132

After some effort, I was able to login by chance, but then each page in webmin has the same problems.

Strangely, it is only affecting 1 of my firewalls.
Both are running 5.209

Also, the PSD detection is triggering due to these refreshes.

Weird! Using Firefox 1.5 with all my ASL's fine....

Try clearing caches etc?

Clearing the cache hasn't helped.

Astaro support say this is a problem with FireFox 1.5.

I'm using FF1.5 with ASL and it is working OK (aside from a few annoyances that have been there for a while but don't make it unusable by any means).

FireFox 1.5 has been reported to have a variety of glitchy issues, especially for upgrade users (most users seem to have no problem). I've seen some memory use problems with it, but nothing like what you're seeing (though the problems I do see it having with ASL seem to be javascript related as well).

I've seen that problem occasionally using Firefox and hitting the Astaro login page.

Usually what works for me is pressing escape quickly which will get it to stop reloading, or restarting Firefox seems to work as well.

Was this a clean install of Firefox 1.5?

If you previously used Firefox 1.0x, it is prudent to uninstall it prior to installing v1.5.

My Firefox 1.5 works fine with webmin.

I note there is an upgrade out now for 1.5 (1.5.0.1) or something.

I doubt the latest release fixes it. I've seen this behavior on occasion for ages.

FF1.5 and IE6 work just fine. There are a few funky rendering issues with Opera 8.5 but otherwise on a clean install these work nicely.

Strange thing. Seems to be related to the timesettings. I have two notebooks. Each with firefox 1.5.0.1. On one the problem happens, on the other it does not happen.
The problem seems to be related to the timeout settings in Webadmin (System -> Webadmin Settings -> Timeout (seconds)). Use Internet Explorer and change the value to a lower one. 120 for example. For me this works as an workaround. After changing the value the webadmin works with firefox again.
Very strange thing ....
