When I visit Google maps (http://maps.google.com/) using either Epiphany
or Iceweasel on my Debian sid system, I do not get the little triangle
button in the map sidebar that collapses it. This only happens for me
with Debian. On my systems with Ubuntu, google maps works as expected.

Does anyone know why this may be happening?

At a guess, one of the debian patches is breaking it.

Try a binary release, or build you own and compare.

Are you using FF2 or 3b?

Possibly. It is a little strange that the Ubuntu version works though,
being based on the Debian version.

>Try a binary release, or build you own and compare.

I'd rather not do that. I prefer to keep to Debian packaged components.
As a last ditch effort, I may try that to see if I can isolate the
issue, but for now I'll see if anyone on the mailing list knows anything
about this.

>Are you using FF2 or 3b?

I am using Epiphany 2.22.1.1-1, and Iceweasel 2.0.0.14-2. These are the
versions currently in Debian sid. I've had the problem since December
last year (2007) when I re-installed Debian and dropped Ubuntu, so it is
not something just introduced.

Doesn't Ubuntu have FireFox with original branding?

I'm not suggesting you change over (although that might work), merely
that you try a vanilla build from MSF to see if it's a debian patch that
breaks it.

Given that it's two browsers with only a distribution in common, I would
say that there's a security patch that breaks it.

Is there any usage of Flash in Google Maps? If so, could be a Flash
issue.

Trying it in Lenny now...no


Windows FF3b5 yes
Windows IE7 yes
Lenny IceWeasel 2.0.0.14 no
Lenny Epiphany 2.20.3 no
kubuntu FF3b5 yes
kubuntu Konquerer yes

Interesting!

Is it a mozilla/gecko-1.8 thing, a gnome thing, a javascript thing, or what?

It's not just sid, lenny is not right either.

I think you'll find that lenny and sid have the same iceweasel.

And this still all points to the debian patches.

It is a problem with the user agent setting. Google maps does not seem
to realize that iceweasel and firefox are practically the same. You can
work around this by visiting about:config in iceweasel and replacing
iceweasel with firefox for the general.useragent.extra.firefox string.

Thank you. I just added "Firefox/2.0.0.14" to the end of the string in
Epiphany and it is working now.

I guess Ubuntu must have changed Epiphany to add the Firefox useragent.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the info.
