We recently upgraded to 3.8.2.0 from 3.6.1.0 because we discovered that the presence of some jqChart Bar Charts in our website cause Firefox on Windows to crash. The good news is the upgrade solved the crashing problem. The bad news is the bar chart is not rendered at all; rather, the following message appears in the developer console:

jquery.jqChart.min.js:9 TypeError: this._createElements is not a function

However, the Bar Chart displays properly in Chrome and there is no such error message.
Line and Pie charts both display properly in Firefox. We are not sure which version of Firefox this problem began, but it can be reproduced on the current version (25.0.1)

I've narrowed down problem a little: the bar chart must be in an iframe, the iframes must be part of a jquery-ui tab, and the chart iframe must not be the first one. I've tried a number of versions of jquery and jquery-ui and regardless, the Bar Chart has this weird problem.

Here is some simplified code that reproduces the problem:

index.html
Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

Do you have any insight into this problem?

Please note the typo in index.html introduced when I deleted some formatting which doesn't work inside code tags:

"/frame2.html]"

should be

"/frame2.html"

This is a quite strange issue. It's is reproducible only in FF. We figured out that if you create the tabs in body onload event, the chart is rendered properly:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
        //$(document).ready(function () {
        //    $("#icp-tabs").tabs();
        //});

        function onload() {
            $("#icp-tabs").tabs();
        }

    </script>
</head>
<body onload="onload();">
    <div id="icp-tabs-container" class="container">
        <div id="icp-tabs">
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#icp-tabs-One">1st Tab</a></li>
                <li><a href="#icp-tabs-Test">Chart Tab</a></li>
            </ul>
            <div id="icp-tabs-One" height="100%">
                <iframe id="icp-tabs-iframe" src="frame1.html" frameborder="1"></iframe>
            </div>
            <div id="icp-tabs-Test" height="100%">
                <iframe id="Iframe1" src="frame2.html" frameborder="1"></iframe>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>

Thanks for that workaround. I guess Firefox users will have to put up with a no tabs for a few seconds while the site loads.
That is,until such a time that mozilla addresses the crash reports that were submitted when we were using jqChart v3.6.1.0
