I use IE mostly because I am blind and my screen reader does not support 
firefox. It sort of works though so I can get by with it if I have to. I've 
cut and pasted the warning messages from the firefox  error console below. 
With IE, I looked at the page source and after I log in, I get a page with 2 
frames. So I couldn't easily tell where the error was. But I did see that 
it's in the frame generated by
/horde3/services/portal/sidebar.php



So then I displayed that page by itself (not in a frame) and got the same 
error message. It is a syntax error on line 618.  That's in the update 
function. Line 618 is the right brace (between the comments and the line 
beginning with Window) in the code below:



function update()
{
    var client = new HTTPClient();
    client.init("https://www.math.wisc.edu/horde3/services/portal/sidebar.php?httpclient=1");

    try {
        client.asyncGET(MenuUpdateHandler);
    } catch (e) {
        // Don't do anything on errors; probably a transient failure,
        // and we'll try again after the next interval.
    }
    window.setTimeout('update();',  * 1000);




None of this looks very helpful to me. Possibly the script errors are a red 
herring. I was hoping that somebody else had experienced the main problem, 
login works with IE but not firefox.  You get bumped back to the login 
screen even though the log says login was successful.





Here's the firefox error console content:
