The problem, occurs with pages in a website which include simple Spanish language exercises. The pages in question call javascripts to allow users to complete the exercises interactively.

I am the author of the pages and when I open these pages as stored in my hard drive, Firefox (Vers 3.0.16) opens the pages OK.

However, when I request one of these page from the website server, Firefox (same version) displays the page as if it could not 'see' the script.

When I look at the Error Console, I see that it displays the error message: Permission denied to get property Window.API (the error message appears to refer to the corresponding javascrip (.js file)

Internet Explorer 7 opens the same pages without any problem.

  • Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
