Firefox 3.5 and Blackboard Assignments - RESOLVED

If you use Blackboard and Firefox on a Windows computer, do not upgrade to Firefox 3.5. 

When submitting an Assignment with a file attached, an error will appear asking to "Please enter a valid file."  Blackboard has been notified of this issue, but until they provide us with a fix, please either refrain from upgrading to Firefox 3.5, or use a different browser. 

Please note:

  • This bug pertains only to Assignments.  SafeAssign is unaffected.
  • The problem only occurs in Firefox 3.5 for Windows.  Macs are unaffected.

================

EDIT 7/6/2009: We’ve installed a fix on our servers.  This problem is resolved.

If you are a system admin experiencing the same problem, ask Blackboard Support for a new version of file_002dpicker_jsp.class and replace it in blackboard/webapps/taglibs/WEB-INF/classes/blackboard/web/interfaces/standard/taglib/

We are running 7.3.230.2 on solaris.  Feel free to reference our case ID (603123) when you contact Blackboard support.
