Same Problem here! Since upgrading to Firefox 3.0 FCKEditor (using 2.6.1) is not working anymore.

A typo. Should be security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy

The developers of Firefox got a reason to secure this, so I would not prefer to disable it to get a workaround! I am waiting for a fix.

Then install a web server on you machine and use localhost.

At the current state of the restriction made in Firefox, it's impossible to make this work without rewriting everything to change all the locations of the files (and even then I'm not sure if it would work)

It would be nice if Firefox 3 allows some way of declaring that certain directories belong to the same code package and thus are of the "same origin". Unfortunately there's no way to do this so far. I guess this new security check in Firefox 3 is causing a lot of troubles in locally filed web page as beyond just FCKeditor right now (e.g. Wikipedia on DVDs?).

I just hope that now that Firefox 3 has been released, enough people face the problem and report it in the proper place (that's it: to the Firefox developers) that they finally add any such measure to allow this kind of pages without problems.

Waiting for a fix in FCKeditor is just wasting the time.

Hey guys,
We have some trouble with FF3 and FCKEditor as described in these post, but the About:config entry in FF3 is not working and we still get the same error.

The problem is that the error
FCKeditorAPI is undefined

doesn't always occur. First visit on the site works ok, the following visits seem to trigger the error.
The problem description got me thinking that maybe something is screwed with js loads. Whenever it breaks it seems ff is using the files from the cache..
Any help is appreciated

I can confirm this! The error is still existing after the changes in about:config and even with or without the changes the error is only happing the second time I am calling FCKEditor!

hi ,

we made changes as per your comments but still we are facing same Problem "fckEditor is undefined" On line no. 38 in fckeditorcode_gecko.js.
so please if you have any other solution then please post it .

thanks ,

chintan .

I am still experiencing this problem in FF 3.0.6 using FCK Editor 2.6.3.

The above comments indicate that the issue was resolved in version 2.6.3. I cannot even find the code (FCKBrowserInfo.IsSafari||FCKBrowserInfo.IsGecko19) that causes this bug in order to manually fix it.

I therefore believe that my issue is different. Occurrence of the error is sporadic, and only seems to happen when I insert an image after first-time upload using image assist (on a Drupal site, with image assist installed as Drupal module). If I insert an already uploaded image the error does not come up.

Any suggestions/advice would be most appreciated. In the meantime I will keep digging and make a note if I find the solution.

firebug causes it, try disabling firebug for the page that the editors are on and see if that solves the problem

...and then the last post hits the nail on the head. Thanks for posting - Firebug is causing my error.
