If we right click and reload the page, the call works and the ajax routines function as expected. The code that fails: x = sajax_init_object(); x.open(sajax_request_type, uri, true); Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open the window using window.open 2. make an ajax request for data 3. Actual Results: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open Expected Results: No error. Right clicking on the window and doing a reload resolves the problem. The ajax works as expected. This code functions properly in Internet Explorer too.

I can confirm that problem also at linux... User-Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061208 Firefox/2.0.0.1

Load this file in FireFox. Click on "Log On" button, which causes window.open() to load popup window.

The first time this window opens, FIRST "refresh" the page with Ctrl-Shift-R, then enter a username and password (can be anything), then click "Log On" button. XMLHttpRequest.open and .send should work. Close this window. On test.html, click "Log On" button again, but DO NOT "refresh" the popup window. Enter data, press "Log On" button. XMLHttpRequest.open will fail (always) with "permission denied to call XMLHttpRequest.open" error.

This PHP script is called by XMLHttpRequest.send in logon.html. It returns the posted data as plain text.
