Ok this is a bit difficult to explain so please be patient. The gentoo version of firefox 3.0 rc3 and probably final if its the same ebuild does some thing to break the following javascript statement 'domSelect[0].selected = true;'. You can test the problem at the following url: http://www.mattkruse.com/javascript/selectbox/ Go all the way to the bottom, change the value for 'Select Matching Options:' to ^.*$ and click on select. It should have selected all the information in the box as do every other browser but instead it does nothing except for deselect everything in the box. I have verified that other FF3 installs work fine on both Windows and Linux (rc3 and final), this seems to be a gentoo specific issue or an issue specific to my system.

Confirmed with firefox 3.0 src final ebuild. Same issue.
FWIW, I do not see this bug; .selected works fine here. Emerged mozilla-firefox-3 with USE="dbus gnome ipv6 java mozdevelop startup-notification xulrunner" Portage 2.1.5.6 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.1, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r0, 2.6.25-gentoo-r4.6 x86_64)
_rc3 has left the tree. Reopen please if the final version exhibits the same issue.
Reopened final version still exhibits bug. Tested on two of my boxs (x86 and amd64) with use flags as follows: dbus java xulrunner
Just noticed that it is selecting the information but it is not repainting it (or something like that). After modifying the filer and clicking select nothing happens but if i click on the scroll arrows the selection magically appears (repaint issued?). It should probably also be noted that I am using KDE not gnome.
WFM as well
Seems it's either you only or something KDE related. Here (no Gnome/KDE, just ROX/openbox) it seems to work.
I'm using KDE and i don't see that problem
Ok i have narrowed this down a bit. I am using x11-themes/gtk-engines-qt to camouflage my gtk applications in kde. When my style is set to Plastik and GTK Style is set to 'Use my KDE style' or 'Qt' it does not work. If i change my style to 'Ralelgh' the problem goes away. I tired removing my .mozilla folder in hopes of resetting my profile but that did not help. I am not sure if this is going to be a firefox issue or a gtk-engines-qt issue. I know this is not a place for support but if there are any ideas out there please let me know.
It's a gtk-engines-qt issue. I reproduce it only when using "Use my KDE style in GTK Applications" (KDE style: Domino). The selection is executed but not painted. When using GTK ThinIce theme, selection is visible immediately. There are quite a few rendering imperfections when using gtk-engines-qt, both in on-page form controls (TEXTAREA and INPUT TYPE="text" are not rendered, SELECT have gaps in the chrome for the button, no border transparency on anything) and some in the browser chrome as well. Either the engine needs fixing yet again, or some KDE themes do. Alex, are you seeing any of these other symptoms, and does it occur across all the themes you've tried? Oh, there's another one: checkboxes not redrawing when checked/unchecked, be it by mouse or keyboard. Correct graphic appears as soon as the element is blurred, but that's very poor :/
