[beta] First CSS challenges won't work in Firefox

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

I can’t pass the first challenge (Basic Css: Change the Color of Text). The <h2> is clearly red, but the test won’t pass.

I tried the next challenge (Basic Css: Use CSS Selectors to Style Elements), and out of the five tests, one won’t pass (again it seems it can’t pick up the <h2>'s color).

Timo,

Just completed tests on both my Linux machines. It appears to be network-related. I replicated the problem then rebooted the network gateway. Problem went away. Go ahead and close the issue. The beta course appears to be working on both Ubuntu Linux 16.04 and 16.10 using Chrome. I did not retest with Opera.

Hi Timo,

Thanks for getting back to me. I just ran some tests at our public library using their windows computers with chrome. Chrome on Windows7 is OK. I am suspecting the issue is with Chrome on Linux. I’ll run some further tests tonight. This new course is pedagogically improved over the production course.

@masters-george https://github.com/masters-george Can you share a screenshot of the test not passing in Chrome? The shared screenshot shows Firefox, which we know is broken (see #10749 https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp/issues/10749). It would also be helpful to see which tests exactly aren’t passing, with what code. Thanks for trying out the beta and reporting bugs!

@kevcomedia Awesome, thanks for testing. That does mean that it’s the same issue as #10749, so I’ll close this issue. The reason that one challenge is passing now is because the CSS test was rewritten into a RegEx test.
