Description:
We have a bug report for Auora 9 (Firefox 9) for some MediaWiki pages. See
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695337

This is likely because the method "navigator.taintEnabled()" was dropped.
You use this (or used this in older versions?) to detect Firefox.
See our bug for an example of a now broken wiki page. Just for your information.

It might be not an issue in your latest versions, but you might consider to inform users that things will brake with version x and Firefox 9.

Firefox 9 final ships 2011-12-20.
It's currently on Aurora channel:

Thanks!

oops, I see a lot info in another Mozilla bug. According

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=683151#c8

this was fixed in MediaWiki 1.16, released 2010-07-28.

;) well then, looks like it was "fixed".

Btw, pre-1.16 is obsolete, and 1.16 itself goes obsolete next month. And by obsolete, I mean they don't get security releases and plenty of extension authors stop bothering to support said versions.
