Microblogging section on main page very out of date for some Firefox users

[Jared Norris]

Going to http://loco.ubuntu.com/ you are presented with the main entry portal to the loco team directory. When using Firefox (tested with 3.6.18 on Ubuntu 10.04) the mircoblogging section is very much out of date (most entries over a year old). On the same computer using a Chromium browser it is all up to date (within a day old).

I have confirmed with another user and they have said it exhibits the same behaviour.

After some testing, I have found that the bug present itself in the following browsers:

Buggy:
 Firefox: 3.6.17 running under Linux
 Galeon: 2.0.7 running in Linux.

Correct under:
 Firefox: 3.6.18 running under Linux
 A Nightly build of Firefox : 8.01a (2011-08-01)

I have just been testing this with different versions of Firefox. It appears both versions 5.0 (Ubuntu 11.04) and 6.0 (Ubuntu 11.10) of Firefox display the microblogging as expecting so it may be limited to older versions only.

Just booted up Windows for a friend and went here with Google Chrome 13 only one of the tweets or what ever are new, 18 hours the rest are 200-300 days old.

Can you check your firefox web console to see if there are any
javascript errors in firefox. I can't reproduce on Firefox 6 or 7.

Nigel,

I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking at with this so I've just done a screen shot of the error console on 3.6.18 and attached it (closest thing to the web console in FF3 I could find). If you would like anything else tested just let me know what I'm looking for and I will find it for you. It would appear there are a few warnings but no errors.

Just tracking down the bugs I've previously reported and tested this against Firefox version 9.0 (running in 12.04 in a virtual machine) and it is showing this bug as well.

I can confirm it wasn't present in 6, 7, or 8 but has regressed in 9.0. I checked for javascript errors and found a couple of warnings about css but no errors.

If you want anything else (logs, versions, etc) just let me know.
