Bug Description
Users are unable to view the `submission.xml` report with XSL transformations due to a security constraint in Firefox 3 or epiphany-gecko. Viewing the report works as expected in Midori, epiphany-webkit, and Opera.
To post a comment you must log in.
The constraint in Firefox is described here: http:// kb.mozillazine. org/Security. fileuri. strict_ origin_ policy, and can be worked around by setting the preference security. fileuri. strict_ origin_ policy to 'False'.
However we are unlikely to get this setting changed in the Firefox package, so we will have to work around it. Workaround options are:
a) use an embedded browser (webkit or gecko with this constraint disabled) to display the report
b) dictate which browser (non-gecko based) is used to display the report, and add that as a dependency to the package(s)
c) place a copy of the checkbox.xsl in the same directory as the submission.xml when the report is generated
Option c) seems the most sensible for now.
