8.7 Firefox 1.0.6 Incompatible with iManager Plug-In Functionality

If you are using the shipping version of Firefox 1.0.6 to run iManager 2.6, you can get 404 errors when you select a task. This is a bug in Firefox. It occurs when you use iManager plug-ins that utilize the clipboard and you select Remember This Decision in the security window that displays when the clipboard is accessed. You can monitor this bug at the Mozilla bug tracking system.

There are two things you can do if you find yourself in this state:

  1. Close the Firefox browser.

  2. Locate the prefs.js file in your account's Application Data/Mozilla/Profiles folder and delete the following two lines; where iManager URL Root is the root of the URL of the version of iManager you are using and the X in the ...pX... of the two settings match.

    • user_pref(“capability.principal.codebase.p X.denied”, “UniversalXPConnect”)

    • user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.pX.id”, “ <iManager URL Root>”)

  3. Restart the browser.

  4. (Optional) If the Internet Security message annoys you, select Allow, but do not select Remember this Decision.
