Firefox 13 – Post window links don't work

    I upgraded to Firefox 13 and now when I am in the Post Window (wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=post) clicking on the links/buttons don’t work at all

    • Screen-Options drawdown on the top-right corner does nothing. URL gets appended with #screen-options-wrap
    • Help drawdown option on the top-right corner does nothing. URL gets appended with #contextual-help-wrap
    • Cannot toggle the HTML/Visual tabs
    • HTML view does not show the formatting toolbars
    • None of the Edit links work

    Same is observed whenever I edit an existing blog post as well. The post window is empty i.e. does not show the content

    I am facing this issue only on Firefox 13. I tried on Chrome and am able to edit posts and new post window also shows the content/toolbars and links/buttons work correctly

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    That’s so weird because I’m running Firefox 13 and I don’t have these issues. Please try running the browser with all add-ons and extensions disabled and see if that clears the issue up.

    I have run Firefox in Safe Mode and that showed up the post window correctly. The toolbar showed up and the drawdown options at top-right corner worked. Links & buttons are also working

    Now to check why the same aren’t working in normal mode. I don’t have much addons installed except TabMix plus, download statusbar and some other small ones – none of which should have caused this issue.

    Also, I had the same addons on FF 12 and this issue wasn’t happening then

    FWIW, here’s a screengrab of how the post window looks on my FF 13: http://i.imgur.com/oRhZN.jpg

    That’s exactly how it looks on my test blog, on FF 13 on a Mac. Disabling AdBlock Plus on WordPress fixes it here.

    (It works correctly on my real blog without disabling AdBlock Plus, both use Twenty Eleven theme.)

    Yes, I disabled AdBlock and it worked! Seems one of the script is being blocked by AdBlock from being run

    I have for now whitelisted WordPress.com in AdBlock and all seems well.

    Thanks
