FCKEditor Issue with Firefox 3.6rc2

I don't see any problem. I've been updating the WriteArea extension the last days and I've tested the behavior of several editors and none of them exhibited any problem with the new version of Firefox.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I was having trouble today with my install of FCK 2.6.4, after updating Firefox to 3.6.

I found a site (in German, had to run through babelfish) that had the fix, at least for the CF implementation. Likely if you are running FCK on a different platform, you can adapt the fix.

In the fckutils.cfm file, in that first function "FCKeditor_IsCompatibleBrowser", look for the line

stResult = reFind( "gecko/(200[3-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9])", sAgent, 1, true );

and change it to

stResult = reFind( "gecko/(20[0-9][0-9][0-1][0-9][0-3][0-9])", sAgent, 1, true );

The original wouldn't match on a version date that was after 2009.

Now granted, the former would only match on 2003-2009, and the fix loses that "after 2003" bit, but it's a handy fix for the short term.

Thanks ScottW. I had the same problem, and this fixed it.

It can be simplified to:

stResult = reFind( "gecko/([0-9]{8})", sAgent, 1, true );

(we'll be ready for year 2100 too )
