Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
My router, a D-Link DIR-655, no longer will allow me access to its admin panel after the latest Firefox 3 patch updates that I installed today.
I can confirm that it was working prior to installing these patches, since I accessed it just earlier this morning. I tried to access the admin panel again later on this evening, after applying all software updates through Synaptic, and it no longer works.
This renders the entire admin panel for the router unusable since an error is given while attempting to login.
The error given is a D-Link error reading:
"The network connection seems to be down. Press 'Ok' to try again."
I realize this is a D-Link error that has been coded for a time out, as I've examined their HTML source, however, this is not a coding error.
It worked on Firefox 3 prior to this recent patch, and works on my girlfriend's Firefox 2 machine, which is also running Ubuntu.
Because of the numerous issues I've been encountering with Firefox 3 lately, I recently installed Opera, and can confirm that the login utility works flawlessly there as well.
Something in the latest Firefox patch (on the Ubuntu repositories at least) is causing certain Javascripts to operate incorrectly.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
