Firefox & Javascript & Tabbrowser Extensions (oh my!)

Factual Questions
1

Background: I use the Firefox browser exclusively on three computers: my desktop at home, my desktop at work, and my laptop. The former is running WinXP Pro, the latter are running W2K Pro. All are at the same version of Firefox (1.0.2), and all are using Tabbrowser Extensions (TBE) at version 1.14.

Problem: In the past few days, Javascript stopped working on my office desktop. I went to the MozillaZine forums, and the best anyone can come up with is that v1.14 of TBE “breaks” Firefox’s ability to run Javascript. However, I only notice the Javascript problem on one computer – the laptop and home desktop let me click away, happily opening pop-ups to my heart’s content (and I tried rebooting the office desktop). Still, I’m willing to revert to v1.13 of TBE on the office desktop just in case … I just don’t know how. I posted my question in the aforementioned forum, but no one has answered me yet. :frowning:

You might try using the “Tabbrowser Preferences” extension instead of TBE, which has many bugs.

Sorry, Revtim, I didn’t mean to disappear: I subscribed to this thread, but somehow I didn’t notice your reply until just now!

I wound up completely uninstalling TBE on the affected computer, but according to the Mozilla forum a new version was released today/yesterday that fixes the Javascript bug. I’m undecided about reinstalling, though, due to the bugginess you mention: I had no idea about that until this Javascript thing happened! I’ll definitely check out Tabbrowser Preferences. :slight_smile:

Thanks!
