[Mozilla Enterprise] VSphere web client issue with Firefox Quantum

[Hendrik Noack]

I haven't tried it in IE, but installing ESR 52 immediately fixes the problems with the random characters. I'm relieved that it's not solely related to our older version of vSphere, but that doesn't help either.

I don't know if there are any Firefox developers out there who use vSphere regularly. It's unlikely that VMWare will fix that bug for an older version and it is somehow related to the new quantum engine.

But thanks for the hint, I may have to use IE with vSphere for the time being, since I don't want to go back to ESR 52, ESR 60 is so much faster, it actually hurts to use the old Firefox.

Best regards,
Hendrik

We are using vSphere web client version 6.5.0.13000 build 8024368. It was working fine in version ESR 52. But when I open a command prompt and type something it interjects random letters and when I use the number pad, interjects random letters. Everything works fine in IE.

What version of vSphere are you actually using?

I do have issues with version 6.0.
It was working better with ESR 52, but the flash implementation was always slow and full of bugs...

The most annoying thing is, that it's doubling characters at random times. Typing a password is exhausting, because I have to count the character dots in the password field all the time.

Best regards,
Hendrik

We don’t have any issue with character injections, but I tend to use alternate browsers for vSphere because I have to fight the browser to use the enhanced authentication plugin (for SSO and datastore uploads, etc.) But I can type usernames/passwords containing numbers normally, even using the number pad.

Good Morning,



Has anyone else seen issues with using Firefox Quantum when logging into VSphere web client? I’m seeing issues with extra characters being interjected, unable to type passwords successfully, while using number pad, we get letters interjected between the numbers? We don’t see these issues FFv52 ESR.
