I noticed yesterday that the UPS package tracking page no longer works in TFF FPR14 for G4 7450 on a Mac running Leopard. I'm visiting this type of URL with a tracking number inserted at the end of the string:

https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_US&tracknum=

This lands me on the tracking page with a spinning progress wheel, but I never get a result. TFF remains responsive, but the wheel just keeps spinning. I tried disabling TFF's basic adblock yesterday and this morning I backed off to FPR10 and also tried using various user agents, all with no change in behavior. I assume UPS changed something on their end. I have no add-ons enabled. My alternative for now is to use Leopard WebKit for UPS package tracking.

    I can comfirm the problem, also that it works on LWK. It's another instance of issue 533 ('TypeError: this is undefined'), see

    Thanks for confirming the issue, Chris. Issue 533 strikes again. I'm a Citi customer, so I'm already familiar with it, but didn't assume immediately that the UPS tracking issue was related.

    @rardin - is the missing menu on Citi.com also related ?

    Yes, but the Citi issue may have been resolved by a change on the Citi end. I'd be interested to hear another Citi customer confirm that I'm not imagining this.

    Yes, they're the same underlying issue.

    with regards to UPS tracking, looks like is still unresolved in 2020...

    Feel free to submit a patch if you have a solution to it. Meanwhile, I'm a solitary developer, and multiple megabytes of changes landed in the test range which may or may not have anything to do with the front end parser issue responsible here.
