In Firefox, in about:config, switch javascript:enabled to false Visit http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Flow_QA&action=new-topic User with no javascript can type a Flow title, but can not type a Flow body or save a Flow topic This is a regression problem, see https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/163993/
Gerrit change #156489 deliberately set the needed textarea and buttons in flow_newtopic_form to style="display:none" in order to "Avoid flash of unstyled content on new topic form." JS then makes them visible on click. On the standalone new-topic page both JS and no-JS should simply show the entire form from the start. An alternative is to use the client-{,no}js classes to control display, but that would mean doing useless JS work and would have to tweak to avoid the FOUC flash. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Coding_conventions/CSS#client-js_and_client-nojs
Possible fix in Gerrit change #163993 Bug 72068 is another bug with no-JS new topic.
I mean possible fix is in Gerrit change #166711
WFM on beta labs.
