window.open is not a function

Hi all;

 

Whilst doing payroll this fortnight, i found myself unable to 'View pay slip', i am in the 'Pay run details' page, and press 'View PDF' but i dont get the payslip.

The error i get is 'window.open is not a function' with a red border towards the top of the screen.

Attached should be a image which shows the error.

 

Other menus arent working properly either, such as 'import and export data'

 

I use Firefox under Linux (debian), and various plugins for security, which could be triggering the problem.

 

Anyone else struck this problem ?

    It works as expected if if open firefox in safe mode ie.

    > firefox --safe-mode

     

    So i guess an incompatibility has crept in with a plugin i use.

     

    (I would have liked to post this to somewhere more specific, but couldnt find an appropriate topic)

        The plugin that is causing problems is AdNauseam, which shouldn't intentionally cause problems, i guess its a bug on their part.
