Description

this situation happens when i edit the security object of my db. i change the roles for readers to ["_admin"].
then back to [].

futon can not load my documents after the first change, and second.

now when i click on my db in the overview, the url that it loads is ..._utils/database.html?install/_security
i also get a pop-up error, and futon does not render any of my documents (blank list)

the GET 'install/_design/undefined/_view/undefined' doesn't make sense to me

on firefox console i get:

401 Unauthorized 89ms
jquery.js?1.4.2 (line 5252)
HeadersResponseJSON

{"error":"unauthorized","reason":"You are not a server admin."}

firefox does not give me a pop-up error and other than the console error things seem to work as normal
