windows xp - Firefox 18 does not open select box

    I'm using Firefox 18 under Windows XP SP3 to open a page I built using jQuery and jQuery UI to generate a form with 'select boxes'. The select boxes are not being opened. The log has no error messages, only CSS warnings (-moz-border-radius, background properties and so on).

    I tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode with a new profile, as suggested here but this did not solve the problem.

    How can I debug this problem?

    Firefox does not open select box

    I have this weird problem that Firefox does not open a perfectly normal select box (see code below). I've already tried to disable all the plugins, themes etc, but still it won't open them. Is there probably some strange setting that causes this?

    <html>
  <body>
    <select>
      <option value="0">aaaaaaaaaaa</option>
      <option value="1">bbbbbbbbbbbbb</option>
      <option value="2">cccccccccccc</option>
      <option value="3">dddddddddddd</option>
    </select>
  </body>
</html>

    Just in case this is caused by an extension or by something odd in your profile: try running firefox without any extensions, and with a fresh (empty) profile:

    firefox -safe-mode -P new_profile_name

    and see if you can reproduce the problem.

    Sometimes Firefox doesn't like select boxes not in a form. Put tags around your select box.
