Mouseover effects not working

[Dreadis]

Basically the problem is I'm not triggering mouse over effects or some reason. I first noticed it wasn't triggering the alerts drop down. But I went on a hunt for new content today and it realized its not pulling up the thread previews when hovering over a thread title.

Using the current version of firefox on windows

alethiophile? tehelgee?

It sounds like it might be an add on or an extension or a security setting on your firefox as I'm using the current version of firefox on windows 10 without any issue.

We haven't changed anything at all. If it suddenly stopped working, it's something on your end. Perhaps the recent update to Firefox broke an extension or addon? I'm on Windows 7 with the newest Firefox and it's working just fine.

I'm only using ublock orgin and tampermonkey with a single script that effects QQ

	for(var i=0;i<spans.length;i++) {

			span.style.color = null;

function add_new_css() {
	var node = document.createElement('style');
	css = '.invisitext { border: 1px dotted red; color: transparent }';

	node.textContent = css;
	document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(node);
}
 
function main() {
	add_new_css();
	iterate_spans();
}
 
main();

Ive tried it without them running and it still doesn't work. do you know of any of the browser settings that might break it? or maybe windows(10) settings?


Just thought to test. the mouseover effects work fine on my other computer running ublock orgin and greasemonkey with the same script.


Edit. only difference in browser settings was one security setting on the problem computer that was set more strict. dropped it down to match my other and restarted the browser. no change.

Click to shrink...

Alethiophile might have an idea, but I don't beyond that. :/

 

[alethiophile]

Yeah, this sounds like a client-side issue that I can't really help with.

 

[Selias]

Any other add-ons, or are ublock orgin and tampermonkey the only ones you have?

Feh...
Something something, touch screen detection. You're having this problem on Firefox on Windows 10. Is the other computer, on which you're not having this problem, running something other than Windows 10?

I remember SV/SB running into a superficially similar problem with Chrome, and the issue turned out to be Chrome was always assuming a touchscreen. (I think there might have been other factors interacting? But I'm not sure without looking.)
