Loading the samples from the filesystem doesn't work in Firefox3

[alfonsoml]

There are several errors in the console trying to load the editor from a file: uri in Firefox3 beta1

(roughly translated)

Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to set the property Window.FCK_STATUS_NOTLOADED

Error: uncaught exception: Permission to read the property HTMLDocument.getElementById denied

...

I guess that this is due to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230606 Probably it means that it will no longer be possible to test FCKeditor in Firefox without using a server.

Also confirmed using FF beta 3

I've attached a screenshot with all the console errors. As it is an Polish bowser just one info wiersz = line.

Sorry what I meant was: as I use the polish version of FF3b3 one translation will be needed when viewing the attachment (wiersz = line).

This bug should be fixed now in 2.6.2 as Firefox3 has been released and people are starting to report strange problems that are surely this issue. http://www.fckeditor.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10109

I propose to detect the error and then give a message pointing to a page in the docs (or even open it directly), where the problem is explained and the about:config entry to allow the pages to work is explained.

It seems there's no way to work around this in JavaScript. But the problem can be fixed by setting security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy to false in about:config.

I don't have the permissions to write to docs.fckeditor.net, but I've written some code to detect the situation and tell the user to disable the Firefox option.

I've added a new patch for this with a simpler structure for the message. I've also removed the global "d" variable that was been created with the previous patch.

I'm Reviewing+ it, but you should also review it before committing.

Fixed with [2170].
