I used window.location.href to navigate pages in my application. Suddenly it's not working anymore with upgrade to v 17.0.1

Still works in v16... but most of the company users upgraded to v17, and now it's a big proglem

WHAT TO DO?

I'm having this issue. It works fine with the older versions but I have this issue specific to Firefox 17.0.1.

In my case It was JQuery call that was suddenly failing in 17.0.1

As a workaround I replaced it with direct "window.location.href" call

In my case I'm having issues with struts as well. I used your workaround but unfortunately it didn't work.

Any idea if this is a firefox bug?

The piece of code that I have is something like

"<a id="action_url" href="/abc/xyz" name="action_url">Data</a>"

abc/xyz is a struts action
