Javascript problems with Firefox and not with IE

[R-24]

why is this javascript error coming when I run the open(http://localhost) in Firefox 1.5

Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to call method Location.toString' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]"  nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)"  location: "<unknown>"  data: no]


It works perfectly fine with IE

This usually means that you have run into cross-site scripting problems. Selenium has to be run from the same domain and port as your application (in this case: http://localhost/some/path/to/Selenium). You can find more information about that in the Wiki.

I've been encountering this same problem...
It appears from my little bit of "digging" to be specific to Firefox
1.5.
Drop back a version and your tests should run.

Now to figure out why this is an issue with Firefox 1.5 ?

Yes, that is because localhost and the public domain are considered different domains. We are working on some very simple proxies (that you can configure your browser to use) that will make "/selenium" available to all domains.

I have just run into the same error in firefox 3.03 I'm attempting to login and view the quote list at the following site. http://netdania.com/Products/QuoteList/QuoteList.aspx and receive the same error message:  Error: [Exception... "'Permission denied to call method Location.toString' when calling method: "

I did confirm that it is working just fine in IE.  Any ideas on how to fix.
