The bug is reported with Firefox 40.0.3 running on Ubuntu 15.04
Firefox doesn't load timeline-bundle.js
This is probably a race condition. Timeline is very old and uses no-longer-suitable methods for asynchronously loading its data and excutables. Not clear we can fix it until we modernize the loading process.
Yes, I think so too. The loadSimileAjax is a bit old and maybe it's better to write a new load code.
Looks like I'm bitten by the same bug (on 2.3.1 though). FF 47.0 and Chrome 41 show the same behaviour. Should I upgrade to exhibit? Where can I vote for modernizing the loading process?
In http://forum.zkoss.org/question/50873/no-event-delivy-when-using-timeplotz-component/ there is an analysis of the call stack.
I've got a student looking into how hard it will be to modernize timeline's load process.

Maybe it could be interesting to have a roadmap. I think some of the exhibit components can be uncoupled, so the modernization process will be easier
Thanks for the fast response!
Far from beeing a JS expert - I would look for best practices in widespread frameworks (eg. angular) and either mimic it or use an API. Do not optimize for bandwitdth / latency to begin with. In my scenario (SIMILE Timeline wrapped by Apache Wicket, wicketstuff-simile-timeline), embedded files will be used and cross loading from http://api.simile-wifgets.org is not required.
If I had enough time, I'ld do a reimplementation in amber (https://github.com/amber-smalltalk/amber) .
My 2c
If I understand this correctly it seems that this is resolved for SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticResultFormats. Is it possible to have this fix implemented for Exhibit so that we can load a corrected version from i.e.
I am pleased to test/help if I can (as a user, not a developer expert ;-) Many thanks !
Sometimes, when reloaded, timeline raises a TypeError: Timeline.DefaultEventSource is not a constructor and doesn't draw the timeline.
For example with http://simile-widgets.org/exhibit3/examples/cereals/cereal-characters.html
