Re: [IUG] Firefox 3.6.11 not allowing My Millennium login

["West, Barbara - HPL" <Barbara dot West at houstontx dot gov>]

Not seeing this behavior on my staff-networked terminal (Firefox 3.6.11 also.)  Have not tried to log into My Millennium from home.   I do remember a recent Java update but cannot remember whether I saw that notification at work or at home.

Subject: [IUG] Firefox 3.6.11 not allowing My Millennium login

Starting this morning, we've been  getting reports from staff that both they and the public can't log into our My Millennium (My MARINet) using the latest version of Firefox, v. 3.6.11.  IE and Safari do work, and older Firefox versions right up to 3.6.10 also work just fine.  Our webpac (http://marinet.lib.ca.us) is from an older example set, but we have the 2009b example set on our staging port, and that doesn't work in FF 3.6.11 either.

The specific behavior is that the submit button just clears the form.  It doesn't give the warning about invalid information, which I get if I type in anything other than good logon info.  The URL displayed is suggesting that I have logged in (https://marinet.lib.ca.us/patroninfo~S3/#######/top) but the /patroninfo (pverify_web.html) screen just stays up.  The III Help Desk had me turn off SSL for a moment, and we did the usual restarts, none of which fixed it, and they can't replicate themselves using 3.6.11.

My current wild guess is that the changes made in how FF 3.6.11 handles either JavaScript or secure pages might be causing this.  I see that the Yahoo Toolbar has big issues with this release of Firefox too.  But since it's not looking like the server or software is at fault, and I don't control the client PCs, I've just posted a warning about this, and gone on to Firefox 4 beta 6 myself.  (It does work.  There's also a 3.5.14 download available.)

Is anyone else seeing this today, or has anyone seen anything like it before?  Any suggestions?  I am going to post it to the Firefox support forum.
