Firefox 3.5.5 Firebug 1.4.5 Yslow 2.0.2 Firebug Options -> Activate Same Origin Urls -> Enabled
I had an issue using the above combination of settings where every time I logged into the web application I was working on, a few seconds later there would be a request to the login URL where it was invoked with a GET and no arguments (username & password) and the effect was to log me back out (which would become apparent on the next request). I am working on a web application using Spring-Security so the submit URL was /xxx/j_spring_security_check. The problem only occurred when I actually had Firebug enabled and running, yslow enabled, and the "Activate Same Origin URLs" checked. I ran into this problem on Friday and it bugged me all weekend. I knew the problem was only happening in Firefox and eventually I thought maybe it was an extension so I disabled them all and the problem stopped. Then I re-enabled plugins to figure out which ones were responsible. The problem doesn't occur unless both yslow and firebug are enabled and running for the domain I am accessing. If I turn off "Activate Same Origin Urls" then the problem stops. I am not sure I understand what "Activate Same Origin Urls" is doing for me but in this case it was causing me grief and I would be interested to know what it is trying to accomplish. I suppose Yslow is somehow partly to blame because it doesn't happen without that extension. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
