osm startpage - javascript error in firefox

hi,

I never was able to browse the map in firefox, neither in version 3.0.x nor in 3.5.2; neither in windows, nor in linux. the start page opens, but the map window is just white, blank, empty except for zoom bar on the lefthand side and the little “+” sign in the upper right corner.

it works without problems in internet explorer 7.0.5730.11 64bit.

when opening the error console in firefox 3.5.2, the following messages are displayed:

Error: map.getCenter() is null
Source File: http://www.openstreetmap.org/javascripts/map.js?1247754982
Line: 203

Warning: Error in parsing value for ‘filter’. Declaration dropped.

there’s no difference if the privoxy proxy is used or not. noscript is activated, but allows all scripts from openstreetmap.org.

When browsing through the forums I learned that others seem to have the same problem, but no one seems to have solved it so far.

any help appreciated.

If you are running privoxy, you will need to put the following in your /etc/privoxy/user.action:

{-filter{jumping-windows}}
.openstreetmap.org

Then you need to:

1- restart privoxy
2- clear your browser cache entirely

I have filed a bug for this at:
