NS_BINDING_ABORTED Shown in Firefox with HttpFox

Viewed 195926

I am seeing some of the server calls (Used for tracking purpose) in my site getting aborted in Firefox while seeing through HttpFox. This is happening while clicking some link that loads another page in the same window. It works fine with popup. The error type shown is NS_BINDING_ABORTED. I need to know is the tracking call is hitting the server or not. It works perfectly with Internet Explorer. Is it any problem with the tool? In that case can you suggest any that can be used in Firefox too.

The error NS_BINDING_ABORTED can have a variety of reasons.

In my case it was garbage in the response headers received from the server, basically a HTTP protocol violation.

Using a web debugging proxy such as Fiddler may sometimes reveal such issues better than the browser's own debugging console (which today does what, I assume, HttpFox did, just better), or at least show more detailed information or clearer error messages.

I know this is a very old question but this happened to me recently with Firefox 95. The images of an ancient application made by a collegue of mine were not loaded (or loaded randomly) because of this code:

window.addEventListener('focus', function() {
   // omit other code...
   location.reload();
}

Once nested this code into a 'load' listener, the issue completely disappeared.

in my case experience, NS_BINDING_ABORTED occurred because missing closed tag between <form>...</form> example:

<form name="myform" action="submit.php" method="post">
    <div class="myclassinput">
        <input type="text" name="firstname">
        <input type="text" name="lastname">
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

there is I am forget to write closing </div> tag before </form>.

I note my experience here, just in case... For me it was a website on a local dev server (adress 192.... etc) which was put online on an already used URL like www.something.com The consequence was that an MP4 video (through the H5P library) didn't play, but allowed to be scrolled through the progress bar. And when I copy/paste the URL to this video, this NS_BINDING_ABORTED error appeared on my laptop, while my colleague on the same internet connection had no problem to view it.

I made an ipconfig /release and /renew, then restarted my computer, and it was fixed... maybe it was some old data conflict with the previous content on this already used URL domain? I don't know.
