Firefox 3.5rc3 problems with Request + solution

It appears that Firefox 3.5rc3 has a bug involving XHR.onreadystatechange - in a very indeterministic fashion (only with very frequent requests) it sometimes doesn't fire this event at all, but that's only when it's defined between XHR.open() and XHR.send() (like it is in Mootools 1.2.3). Defining XHR.onreadystatechange after XHR.send() fixes that.

So, kind of a temporary hack around this bug until Mozilla fixes their shit (it's called release candidate for a reason ) would be something like this:



edit: should be "yourRequest" there instead of "ajaxRequest", that's my var name .

thx for the info... will definitely prevent me from going crazy when I'm trying FF 3.5rc3

Just installed Firefox 3.5 stable, and this bug is still in...

Added this.xhr.onreadystatechange = this.onStateChange.bind(this); in mootools.core.js:



This seems to solve the problem. Only thing is when request is canceled - in firebug this request is visible as still running (loader icon still visible). It runs forever... I'm not sure if this is just Firebug or FireFox 3.5 really runs this request (and takes resources)
