Solution to: Permission denied to get property XULElement.popupOpen

What’s that firefox? A cryptic error message? Timmy’s drowning at the old mill?!

I came across this rather strange bug while switching from a file input to a combination of SWFUploader and a text field.

Permission denied to get property XULElement.popupOpen

The problem seems to occur when focusing on the input via javascript.

Solution? Easy, Just add this to your text input:

autocomplete=”off”

And then give firefox a nice pop on the head for being a bad fox! Bad Fox! ...No!

I hope that saves you some headache and confusion =)
