Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Simona Badau, Desktop QA]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20130731 Firefox/25.0

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox 
2. Navigate to YouTube and search for a video that has the Statistics disabled

3. Hover the mouse over the statistics icon

Expected results:
A callout saying that "Stats have been disabled for this video"  is displayed above the Statistics icon.

Actual results:
A tooltip saying that "Stats have been disabled for this video" is displayed instead of a callout.
If the statistics are not disabled, the proper callout is displayed when hovering the icon.

The issue is not reproducible on Opera 15.0.1147.141 and on Chrome 28.0.1500.72.

Please also check Internet Explorer so we have a comparison across different rendering engines (Opera and Chrome both use WebKit).

I did a quick comparison and here are the results:
 * Chrome: "Stats disabled" flyout appears
 * Firefox: "Stats disabled" tooltip appears
 * IE: "Stats disabled" flyout flickers and quickly disappears

I think this is yet another case of Youtube designing for Webkit. If you can show evidence that we have a bug in Firefox then please move this back to Core Layout.

I have the feeling the UI of YouTube has changed since the report of this bug. Basically Statistics Icon is there only if the stats are available.
