General Information

This issue only affects some 3rd party extensions in Joomla! versions 3.1.4 and higher

What is the cause[edit]

An instance of Joomla! Core using JBrowser has been removed causing it not to be automatically loaded on all pages.

How to fix[edit]

Change the source code to something similar as below.

From this:

$browser = JBrowser::getInstance();
//...

To this (with legacy way to load classes):

JLoader::import('joomla.environment.browser') // Add this linecode
$browser = JBrowser::getInstance();
//...
