Odd Firefox + Toodledo issue

I'm not posting this as a bug because it is clearly a problem on my end - but either others here have experienced it (or will):

I simply clicking on "add", pressing N ... does nothing ... in fact clicking on any LINK that is not a TAB (or on the sidebar) does nothing. Nor does clicking to edit,

I've run toodledo on 4 different machines, using 3 browsers each (firefox, IE, Chrome). I only experience this on the firefox setup on one machine ... so obviously there's a setting or something I changed but I cannot for the life of me find it. Even more strange - all my addons are automatically synched/duplicated on all my firefox setups - and I've been disabling no luck.

This really seems like a weird Javascript or Greasmonkey or Gears issue but I am just perplexed ...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

It sounds to me like you are running Firefox with JavaScript disabled. Go to Tools -> Options -> Content, and make sure "Enable JavaScript" is checked.

Yeah I thought that too - but no ... all enabled, all checked. Problem is still there.

So, if you've tried with addons disabled to no avail, then the only other thing I can think of that might be blocking your JS would be a firewall, or security software, but then it shouldn't work in IE or Chrome either I would think. That is weird. I would probably just try reinstalling that copy of Firefox. BTW, have you checked if JavaScript is functioning on other websites for that copy of Firefox?

No other apparent javascript problems ... but I was thinking something with gears or greasemonkey? I ask because it's similar in scripting, and (for me) virtually unused elsewhere.
what do you think?

I am actually hoping someone recognizes the problem and can tell me what I did wrong. It's been 4-5 hours already!

Well Greasemonkey you can check by disabling it. I don't use Gears, but I would imagine it can be turned off as well.

I tried everything. Nothing worked. And then I ran Firefox in safe mode (of course it worked) and then ran it again without safe mode and Toodledo has been working since.
Odd since safe mode does not do anything permanent (unless you explicitly tell it). oh well. It would be nice to know so I can avoid this again. Thanks.

Sounds like one of those strange temporary computer mysteries.

I've got the same problem. FF 3.5.2. Can't select anything. Safe mode didn't change anything for me. Have to use safari now which I can't stand.

Did you check that JavaScript is enabled?

BTW, Firefox 3.5.2 has been buggy as heck for me, though I have not had any issues like this. Reinstalling didn't help my problems, so I will probably roll back to 3.5.0, or even the last 3.0.x for now.
