Hey All,

I've got some JavaScript code that has stopped working with FireFox in version
2.0 Still works fine in 1.5.0.x line. I'm not sure where to turn to about this
as its just a baffling issue.

I'm using the prototype library and the first attempt the script makes at using
the Object.extend() function it gives me the error "Object.extend is not a
function pklib.js Line 554"

While I would ordinarily think it was a problem with my code, if you do a page
refresh it works just fine.

Anybody have any idea what could be going on? Its like its ignoring some of the
JavaScript while starting up.

To see the issue, go to http://www.epitunes.com/Music and click on any of the
Play buttons.

The music player code also works everywhere else on the website where it is
embedded into the page (not standalone).

Thanks for any ideas you might have!

Hmm, it looks like it is a regression in Mozilla then.
I'm getting a regression range between 2006-07-07 and 2006-07-08 on trunk:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=all&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2006-07-07+05&maxdate=2006-07-08+07&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot
and I'm getting a regression range between 2006-07-25 and 2006-07-26 on branch.
So that makes it likely a regression from
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343417 somehow.
A simplified testcase of the problem in question would be very helpful here.
Also, I think you should file a bug about this.

Regards,
Martijn

This sounds like it could be caused by bug 355161, a regression in
Firefox 2 that is scheduled to be fixed in Firefox 2.0.0.1.
