Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

I had the same problem whitin a Html Object Collection derived from input collection, not solved whit this tips:

var _radio;
var ixx;

_radio = document.getElementsByTagName("input");

for (ixx=0; ixx <= _radio.length-1; ixx++) {
    if (_radio(ixx).type == 'radio') {
        //my code here
    }
}

It's really basic, maybe I wrote something wrong :)

However I think that it's good to know this tips but enable/disable addons for customare make your application not friendly.

Thanks ;)
