Since installing the Open Source v4.1, I'm not able to edit templates in Firefox 2.0. It works fine in Internet Explorer 7.
When I load a page to edit a template, the template code appears in the edit box, which remains greyed out even after the page completes loading, and the line numbers don't appear like they do in IE. According to Firefix's error console, the problem is occurring in Codepress:
Error: editor has no properties
Source File: (redacted)
Line: 253
My first assumption was that I had an old file on the server, but as far as I can tell the CMS template and codepress are all up-to-date as of MT 4.1. Has anyone else come across this problem?

Edit: I'm guessing the best way would be to turn off Codepress, since it seems to cause a bunch of other problems. I can't find the option to do so though. Anyone know where it is?
Editedit: Oh, there's a button over the editor to turn Codepress on and off. Of course, because of the aforementioned error, this button doesn't appear at all in Firefox. Heh.

I would try uploading the files again. I have not been able to reproduce the problem on my machine.
If you go to www.movabletype4.org and log in to the test MTOS 4.1 test instance do you still have the problem.
Note: www.movabletype4.org is run by ProNet member Mihai Bocsaru not by 6A. He has different MT configs that you can test.

I'm seeing the same problem in Firefox with my MT41 installation. Also, in Safari, the editable text portion of the entry field seems to render with a width of 0. I can grab the corner and resize the editable portion to fit the textarea, but I've done this twice and both times had problems with entries saving incorrectly or not at all.

Answering my own question:
Found
this thread which described the same problem. I checked out my mt-config.cgi, and found that the paths in it contained the www prefix in the URL, while I was accessing the site directly at the domain level (http://blahblah.com as opposed to
http://www.blahblah.com). I removed the www prefix from the paths in mt-config, and now it seems to be working fine.

Turns out I had missed updating one of the codepress files (index.html in the codepress directory) - now that I've updated it, I can edit templates in Firefox again. Cheers!
