Unable to "unlock further protect options" in Firefox on nl.wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When using Mozilla Firefox (16.0.2) I'm unable to click on the "unlock further protect options" when I want to move-protect a page. It only happens on the Dutch Wikipedia so far I think and I have no problems with IE. See for example here: https://nl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hoofdpagina&action=unprotect.

Hi Trijnstel,
is this still a problem with Firefox 17.0.1?

Hi Trijnstel,

Yes. While I use Firefox 18.0 now, the problem is still there.

Can you please try to disable all gadgets and/ or list the ones you use?

I prefer not to disable them, but you should know that it works fine in IE.

I have lots of gadgets installed, but could this be the cause maybe?

  • What happens exactly when you click the checkbox?
  • Does the tick symbol not appear? Or does it appear but the options below stay locked?
  • Try using Chrome (just once, to see if it works)
  • Try disabling all gadgets you have enabled, and try again. Feel free to re-enable your favourite gadgets directly afterwards. But this helps narrow down where the problem is coming from.

It works for me in IE9, Chrome 23, Chrome 24 and Firefox 18. I have the default settings on nl.wikipedia and have protect/sysop rights.

I can reproduce the issue in Chrome and Firefox when I enable "Zeusmode" gadget.

It does appear, but the options below stay locked (=grey).

Do you mind if I won't do that? :P I'm afraid I forget which ones I installed.
