>From your post ::
"On my website post, a visitor made a comment that he changed the order
of this AJAX request within the createAJAX function of tw-sack.js to
first check for Firefox and then for IE, and that it helped preventing
the error."
That's because it was doing this "new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");"
which is NOT correct javascript that's why the error was happening - it has
nothing do
with Firebug. This error would happen but you would never see it without
Firebug
because Firefox will only show it in the error console.
The error is being generated by poor wordpress code. Open the bug with them
and close the
bug in google code imo.
