Firefox 31 can not get value from child iframe in parent website
Firefox 31 can not get value from child iframe in parent website.
In all previous Firefox versions, I could get a field value from an iframe within my own website. But now I can't.
All other browsers: Explorer, Chrome, and Opera work just fine. Firefox stopped working as of version 31.

Please try Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode Please make sure there are no add ons blocking the content
Please try to allow insecure content: To allow insecure content to be displayed in all secure pages, enter about:config in the address bar and double-click on this preference, to toggle it from true to false:
security.mixed_content.block_active_content
Last resort: I wonder if this has to do with the single origin policy. There was a new security https://blog.mozilla.org/security/201.../exciting-updates-to-certificate-verification-in-gecko/ update for certificate verification.
Please post back with your results/ or an example url for further investigation. Thank you.

Could you post a link to a page demonstrating this problem, either the actual page, or a reduced test case?
Yes I have made two pages to demonstrate the problem....
1.
If you go to http://os.verticalbrowser.com/index.htm
and click on the blue "Play AutoSurf" button it will automatically rotate some links....
2.
But if you go to http://os.verticalbrowser.com/indexOLD.htm
the blue button does nothing... it no longer responds to my iframe......
(I put some browser sniffing code in the first example to switch to another page that works because it is a less complicated iframe but has less features.....)
Thanks,

This is little complicated for a Sunday afternoon peek...
The script on the "Play AutoSurf" button runs doPlay(). Here is the first problem:
thetitle=surfframe.document.Auto12Surf.slotTitle.value;
Experimenting in the web console:
surfframe.document.Auto12Surf.slotTitle.value => TypeError: surfframe.document is undefined surfframe.nodeName => "IFRAME" surfframe.contentDocument.Auto12Surf.slotTitle.value => "AutoSurf Play List"
Do all browsers support contentDocument now? If not, or to minimize your code changes, you could try putting the following somewhere in your code that runs on load (i.e., global context):
if (!surfframe.document) surfframe.document = surfframe.contentDocument;
Does that fix it?
changing .document to .contentDocument in the code got it to partially work with Firefox 31 (it still freezes later on) but all previous versions of Firefox don't work now...
It is an iframe within a DIV....... I could access it in all previous versions of Firefox, but now it just hangs....

Could you test in Firefox 32 and see whether the problem continues?
I tried it in version 32.... the same problem continues.... It cannot access data from an iframe in a DIV..... I think Firefox is slowly turning into another Chrome browser.... Chrome is a fast ad-delivery platform (that is its first priority, to protect AdSense code from hackers).... too bad...
Now the old version does this: I click on the blue button, get a pop up that asks to start browsing. I am taken to another page with a grey button to auto surf. I clicked that and was back to the first page. Then clicking the blue button a second time the auto surfing started. (news about shelling the Ukraine was the first page) Is this intentional?
Any version older than Firefox 31 should bring you here: http://os.verticalbrowser.com
I put a browser sniffer in the code... the new version now automatically takes you to the Chrome (webkit) platform: http://wk.verticalbrowser.com
try it with Explorer or Opera to see the difference.....
when you go to the OLD.htm page, you are at this address: http://os.verticalbrowser.com
But when you clicked on the blue button a second time, you were brought to a new page: http://wk.verticalbrowser.com
I made a simplified Chrome or Webkit version (wk) of the same site, but now it seems that Firefox has also changed its innards to act like Chrome..
