I have a site using js which works until ff-3.0.a2 build 2007-02-01 and breaks on ff-3.0.a2-build 2007-02-02. I need the source and diff on these builds to debug it
It's a customer password protected site which uses dojo, scriptaculous and several other java scripts. It receives an array into a DIV and then copies portions of this array to the visible area. The user can change the order of the contents in the visible table.
I did a regression test today and could determine the last workable buid as the trunk firefox-3.0a2pre 2007-02-01 and the first broken build as the trunk firefox-3.0.a2pre 2007-02-02.
There is no error on console related to this. Simply the area stays blank as if there were no data. On the page source the array is loaded but the table is empty. On the workable version, both the array and the table have content.bold text

Hi people,
I'm back on the issue because I think I did not express my real need. I'm currently using Fedora 8 which was phased out 2 years ago because some old applications doesn't run on newer versions. Fedora 8 died whith ff 2.0.0.19.
Now I'm in process of migration to a newer version and discovered that one of the sites I need to access several times a month does not show a table.
As the moment to migrate is getting closer, I did a regression test since ff4 to ff2 and I discovered that the change happened on the compilation of the firefox 3.0a2pre on the date 2007-02-02.
At the end of january, 2007 there were several changes in the javascript interpreter and I don't know yet if the problem is a bug or a colateral effect of a change to follow some ECMA specification.
So, to continue the investigation, my question is:
Where and how can I obtain the sources for the firefox 3.0a2pre compiled in 2007-02-02 and the diff or the source for the same compiled in 2007-02-01?
Any tips will be very, very, very welcome!
Those old versions were maintained using Bonsai and not the currently used http://hg.mozilla.org/ site.

Hi Cor-el,
That´s the starting point I was looking for. I guess I need the diff between the days 2 and 3 as I think the nightly build is done after all the changes of the day. On this period there are 2 changes related to js; one of them is very promising as it introduces an object validity check before calling it.
Now I'll try to get the current ff source and search for this change.
Thank you. I'll tell you about my progress.
