Firefox 15 beta kills jQuery 1.5 versions

more options

I have jquery-1.5b1.min.js running on a website, which is needed because it's the only jQuery version that makes everything work on all my tested browsers (I am not a programmer - others built the scripts in question so this won't be a just me issue). Until this morning, when a coworker noticed two scripts weren't working. I tested again in Firefox 14, IE, Chrome, Opera, etc and it worked. The only difference is she's running Firefox 15 beta. So please make sure the new Firefox won't kill a bunch of scripts. She has no idea how she even got 15 beta because she didn't download it.

Can you provide the URL to a page demonstrating the problem? Firefox 15 is going to be released very soon, so it's slightly urgent to sort this out.

In other browsers and Firefox 14, if you click add to cart it tells you the options are required and when you select one, the price updates. Neither of these work on the 15 beta we have here.

Hmmm, works for me in the latest Firefox 15 beta (see attached image). Does it make a difference whether the visitor is logged in (I wasn't)?

Could you have your coworker do the following and test again:

1. Clear Firefox's Cache

orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Advanced

On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"

2. Delete the site's cookies here

While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Yes! I wonder what was happening. She says she never downloaded the 15 beta but she has it. The rest of us of course are still on the latest 14 version.

I think the release and beta channels run in parallel. In other words, if she installed the beta of 14, she would get upgraded to the beta of 15 instead of switching to the release of 14. But anyway, you have at least one feedback that it works. Fingers crossed.
