No HTML Editor in Firefox with 1.8.4

No HTML Editor in Firefox with 1.8.4

After upgrading from 1.8.3 to 1.8.4, the HTML editor has disappeared entirely in Firefox. The issue is independent of theme (we've tried three different ones with the same results each time), and no errors show up in our web logs. The editor works fine under IE7.

From the logs, it looks like it's trying to get the HTMLArea code, but for some reason it's failing to display in the browser:

Any thoughts?

Hi Don -

I had the same problem. Mine was caused by the debug settings. I had it set to "DEVELOPER" level. When I set it back to "MINIMAL", all was fine.

I think there is an issue with XHTML compliance and the HTML editor.
