Description

[Michal Urban]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
Build ID: 20121212073002

Steps to reproduce:

The following web page lists new Mac software releases:

http://download.cnet.com/new-mac-software/


Actual results:

Hovering mouse over any list item's title should open a pop-up with more details. This only works for the topmost list item in the Fx 18 betas.


Expected results:

All items should produce pop-ups, this works fine in Fx 17 and current versions of Safari, Opera and Chrome.

The site used mooTools in the http://asset3.cbsistatic.com/cnwk.1d/html/rb/js/tron/oreo.moo.rb.combined.js.
>var MooTools={version:"1.2dev",

So,I think this is the site problem.

*Sigh* I thought this had been fixed completely in bug 781796, but I guess they didn't upgrade MooTools on download.cnet.com.

Comment 3

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Looks like they fixed it with some hack, but for Windows only?!
<script type="text/javascript">
    if ( (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") != -1) && (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win") != -1) ) {
        // fix moo tools override of JSON.stringify clicktale
        JSON.stringify = JSON.encode;
    }
</script>

Comment 4

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Err, sorry, that's about stringify, not about contains. Not sure what the purpose of that script is? The STR in Comment 0 seems to work though in FF 18 on Windows.

Comment 5

[Michal Urban]

Interesting: navigator.appVersion returns "5.0 (Macintosh)" on my FF 18 but all pop-ups work for me now on the reported cnet site. Perhaps there were more fixes than the one Frank found.

So this bug can be closed?

Comment 6

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Yes, can be closed. My Comment 3 was just me not properly looking at what this script does. Not quite sure what they try to accomplish with that script. From some googling it looks like it's another MooTools bug workaround (not related to this bug here).
