Found this fix in another forum:

"I found this solution that worked for me:Kruno 2007-12-17 12:04:10 PDT

OK, I spent the whole afternoon and I FOUND THE FIX :))) I found 2 fixes to be
more acurate

the problem is with the FOCUS of the tabs... because Open dialog loses it's
focus when new browser tab is opened then regains the focus when that tab is
closed but the original tab does not regain the full focus...

here's the solution...

In the address bar type about:config

In the filter bar type TAB

Find this key: browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground (default value is FALSE)

Change the value to TRUE (just doubleclick it to change the value)

And VOILA!!!

OK button is not greyed out anymore...

Turns out I was wrong, the security.dialog_enable_delay preference is a carryover from seamonkey (the Mozilla Suite) and was only recently fixed (relatively) for Firefox. I'm working to see if the value can apply also to download dialog OK button delays.

Turns out I was wrong, that delay is for extensions: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Disable_ext... - I'll keep looking. – Thomas, on August 07, 2008 08:14

Also I tried your dialog_enable fix, and it didn't do any difference. The delay is often more than 10 seconds, sometimes 20-30. Sometimes it never seems to ungrey at all.

I also agree with fff. We're 20+ people at this company using Firefox, this being the only big thing annoying us all. Didn't know it was a security feature, but still, greatly annoying.

I just downloaded FF 3.0 Gecko 2008061521 for OS/2. This fix does not fix the problem. – snapdrgn, on July 16, 2008 02:23

Let me know if this solves the issue:

1. Open about:config in the address bar
2. Accept the security warning (if there is one)
3. Type dialog_enable in the search box
4. Double click security.dialog_enable_delay
5. Set the integer to 0.

This disables all security dialog delays. This should disable the ok button delay, let me know if it does. Also, you assume all liability for removing the security delay if you do this.

I second what fff said; Let me choose if I'm intelligent enough to remove or not this "security" feature by myself.

We're bashing Microsoft about their way to "choose for us", I won't continu to use a soft doing the same, open/free software or not!

Come on!

Seriously... you can keep it as a security "feature"... But let the more intelligent users turn this off... we've got things to do, and don't have time to wait for this nonsense.

Hi. Twitter has a status update on the Twitter Status blog that says they deployed a fix to the Facebook app a couple of hours ago.

Perhaps it's working now...?

I rarely experience this problem. And when i do, all i have to do is click it again. 2 seconds of delay for security is 2 seconds I'd sacrifice every time.

mdy replied on June 13, 2008 20:24 to the problem "Facebook Twitter App Not Working" in Twitter:

Twitter posted a status update on Jun 12 on the Status Blog.

They seem to be aware that the problem still exists.

The relevant excerpt:

Facebook app: currently broken for many users, we need to rework some of the core functionality of the app to bring it back in a stable way.

I don't care if it's a security issue. I want a way to disable it. It's annoying enough that I'm thinking about switching to Opera.

At least my tweets are updating my status...

Erika replied on June 11, 2008 05:34 to the problem "Facebook Twitter App Not Working" in Twitter:

Mine is updating again, but I still see the errors when I click on the app. I'm happy as long as it works.

I'm seeing it, too. Tried reinstalling with the same issue.
