Is the javascript function window.opener still working in FF12? I get a reference to the popup window itself instead of the window that opened the popup.

Thanks a Bunch, B.

hello, i think it should still be supported, since it's listed on MDN without caveats https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.opener

for detailed questions about web developement you can also consult the mozillazine forum (probably best with a sample of your code), since the folks there will probably know more about it than we do...

Thanks for the replies. However, I think I'm experiencing this bug:

ok, thank you for investigating this, just out of interest - is it also happening with the current java 7 versions?
