CNET article comments are not visible in nightlies

Post by Chimel31 »

If you open any CNET article page such as the URL below, there is a bar with a "Comments" button and some other links.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-11128_3-57342 ... to-europe/

This bar is not visible in the x32 or x64 Nightly builds, even with all extensions disabled. It is visible only if I start Firefox in Safe Mode.

Note: cor-el from mozilla forum says it repros on his x32 nightly on Linux and it may be a problem with the JIT compiler:
Setting javascript.options.methodjit.content to false makes the comment bar visible. Also works on my x64 Windows nightly.

I loaded the page with Chromium, Firefox 8, and Nightly, all on Ubuntu. The pages look the same at the top and bottom but the Nightly page is much shorter as the comment bar and the whole comments section is missing. The console says:

[06:05:39.314] arguments.callee.caller is null @ http://global.cbsistatic.com/cnwk.1d/ht ... bined.js:5

File a bug with bugzilla.mozilla.org

The scripts are being blocked by Adblock Plus. File a false negative report with the ABP team.

I get the error I mentioned in my previous comment, and no comments, in a clean profile. Adblock Plus might be blocking something incorrectly, but there is a problem loading the page correctly without any extensions.

It doesn't seem to be Adblock Plus, I disabled it, restarted Firefox and still got the issue, as I mentioned.
Thanks for the advice, I opened bug #710775: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=710775
