Doesn't work in Firefox 27.0.1

[grv87]

Firefox 27.0.1 throws error: SecurityError: The operation is insecure.

return document.selectNodes(".//*[local-name()=\""+ tagName +"\"]");

soapclient.js (row 355)

Consequently, no login happens and MantisKanban doesn't work.

Additional information:

• Firefox 27.0.1 (I have autoupdate turned on, so it's one of the latest versions).
• OS MS Windows 7 SP 1 x64
• My installation of Mantis and MantisKanban works via http.
• Live Demo doesn't work too.
• Works in IE 11.

HI @grv87

I've tested the same setup, and it works fine for me. This is one of the OS / Browser configurations I test regularly. Can you verify your security settings for firefox are defaults?

[cgaspard]

Any luck? If you have your kanban exposed, you can private message me a login, and I'll take a look at it. You can email me at cgaspard @ gmail dot com.

Sorry for inconvenience. It is definitely problem of Firefox's security settings. I've tried from other PC with Windows and the same version of Firefox, and everything works fine.

By chance, do you know which setting could cause the problem? I can't recall that I changed something concerning security or script languages.

I know two items that might cause security issues.

One is that the page makes ajax calls. So you'll want to make sure you run the kanban on the same domain as the mantis server. If you aren't, you might be getting CORS related security issues.

The second thing is that some of my recent code modifies the style sheet. This causes security concerns in a version of Chrome that I tested it on, but doesn't seem to happen in the latest version.

The other thing you could do is compare Firefox preference files between the two units to see what the differences are. prefs.js is where they are stored I think.

Also you could try disabling any extensions you have to see if any of those might be breaking the security.
