User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009021910 Firefox/3.0.7 Creative ZENcast v2.01.01

After upgrading to Firefox3.07  today, and deleting my cache, I found function was gone. Normally, when on my yahoo homepage, I can hover over news items on most content modules, and a preview of the story pops up. That is now not happening. Also, when on newser.com, the option that I have selected, called "Show pop-up summaries" is not working. Normally, you can hover in the left hand corner of a news story cell, and a preview pops up. That is gone. When using Internet Explorer, the function still works.  I went on Firefox chat with member named Tobbi, who tried to help, but can not figure this out. We tested Javascript, and Tobbi said it seems to be working. I went into Firefox safe mode, and nothing changed.  I am finding some  messages when I click on tools/error console. things like : "error in parsing value for 'property display' Declaration dropped" which sounded interesting, but meaningless to me. I have not changed any settings. I tried changing the pop up settings in tools, but that didn't affect anything, so I went back to the default.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.restart whole system
2. open firefox 3.07
3.go to my.yahoo.com/ or newser.com/
4.Mouse hovers over content which normally generates a pop up summary (preview) of news item. content on my.yahoo such as Huffington post module, CNN module, NY Times module. On Newser.com/ my mouse hovers over left hand corner of a new article "cell", and a pop up summary opens.
5. I tried turning adblock off, with no result.
6. I tried changing the settings in my tools for pop ups in security, with no results
Actual Results:  
Normally, a pop up would happen. but, nothing is happening. I can click the hyperlink to the story and it works. but hovering over the appropriate area on the page does not generate the usual pop up.

Expected Results:  
the pop up summary should open. I should be able to read a preview of the news item, click it's hyperlink to read the whole item from it's originator, such as CNN, Huffington Post, NY Times, etc.

Here is list of add ons that I am actively using.
