Description
Firefox bug # 90268 has been around since July 10, 2001 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90268).
Firefox will unload plug-ins if the container's style.display is toggled to 'none'. As a result, this occurs with the Dojo TabContainer? / ContentPane? in Firefox, causing loss of state (and possibly input) if a user is switching between tabs of an application, and a ContentPane? associated with a tab uses a plug-in (such as Flash Player with a Flex component). I believe that the other dijit Containers may exhibit the same problem (such as the AccordionContainer?).
If there is a way to prevent the use of the style.display property it has so far eluded me, an application of this sort would be forced to IE or the use of the TabContainer? events to manipulate <DIVS> outside of the tab container (using visibility / zIndex without the display attribute).
