Sun ILOM fix for modern Firefox browsers

Sun ILOMs are unusable in modern Firefox browsers. iframes with buttons and drop-down menus are not visible possibly because of some JavaScript bug. As a workaround, you can install Stylish extension and create new style using the code below:


@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

#mainpage {
visibility: visible !important;
}


You can also use @-moz-document rule to specify which pages the style is going to be used on. More info here.


@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document regexp("^https://10\.8\..*") {
#mainpage {
visibility: visible !important;
}
}

    1. There are updated ILOMs with a fix (CR 7082194). Note that the issue is caused by Firefox not supporting an API anymore and so choosing to not be backwards compatible...

    2. Not quite true it seems. I use firefox 10.0.1 and the iframes are not visible even though I have the latest ILOM installed (v3.0.16.15 r69954) which claims to have a fix for CR 7082194.

      Also, the "API" mentioned in other conversations for this issue is a firefox-only property that was removed to maintain compatibility with all other browsers.
