"View Issues" categories don't load in FireFox 1.5

I'm having some problems loading the drop-down lists on the "View Issues" page:

Using FireFox 1.5.0.8 on my PC at work:
-- I go to "View Issues", and I click on the various hyperlinks to load the lists of categories (eg: reporter, severity, status)
-- A message that says "Loading..." replaces the default text below the hyperlink.
-- I have a tool to inspect Ajax communication (Firebug console), and the server response looks ok. It returns an HTML select populated with the correct options.
-- The drop-down list of options never replaces the "Loading..." message.

Using MSIE at work: Works fine.

Using FireFox 1.0.6 at home: Works fine

Web server is Apache 2.2.3. Mantis is 1.0.6.

Here is a sample reply from the server to FireFox 1.5.0.8:

Code: Select all

200
<!-- handler_id_filter -->		
<!-- Handler -->
<select  name="handler_id[]">
   <option value="0"  selected="selected" >[any]</option>
   <option value="-2" >[none]</option>
   <option value="-1" >[Myself]</option>
   <option value="10" >daskov</option>
   <option value="9" >mantisadmin</option>
</select>
I cleaned up the formatting a bit, but that's what the server is returning. I don't know how it's supposed to look, but this looks reasonable to me (I just installed it and only have those 2 users).

Any ideas? thanks.

Thanks, Ed. I had actually tried disabling Firebug itself and just the Ajax logging before posting the question, with no success. Your reply set off the light bulb I needed, however. I am actually using the GreaseMonkey plug-in to log my Ajax communication. It has a user script called "XmlHttpRequestTracing" that appears to be causing the problem. I think it is very similar to the Firebug tracing. Anyhow, that plug-in has a list of pages to exclude, and adding my mantis website to that list solved the problem.

thanks.
