I was on wwww.wowarmory.com checking the stats on my character and the equipment stats don't display properly.  Also if you try to log into a Guild Bank also on the Armory it never seems to authenticate properly and always displays a message saying "An error occured.".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to www.wowarmory.com
2.  Search for a character
3.  Mouseover a piece of armor
Actual Results:  
It just displays a box that says "loading...".

Expected Results:  
What is supposed to happen is a window is supposed to appear when you mouseover a piece of armor.

The site isn't flash based, they uses Ajax.
It works in 2.0.0.11 but not in the trunk and i get a JS error in teh console (also a few css errors):
Error: tClickPinBreak is not defined
Source File: http://eu.wowarmory.com/js/armory.js
Line: 490

Added direct URl to a character to url field....

I don't confirm the bug report itself because someone has to debug this.

Please do not request blocking on bugs that are UNCONFIRMED.

[Jim Jeffery not reading bug-mail 1/2/11]

Its due to bad browser sniffing at the site, more info here:

Comment 4 is correct. I used the above build and User Agent Switcher extension.

Using the UAS of "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008011604 Firefox/3.0b2" makes the tooltips not work.

Using the UAS of "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008011604 Firefox/2.0.0.11" and the tooltips amazingly start working!

So this site looks like it is sniffing the version number of Firefox. So I will confirm this bug as a Tech Evang bug.

And in fact, this is prolly a dupe of bug 409768.

Comment 7

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

I agree with comment 6.
