The popup you get when cliking on the stackexchange icon or when hovering on your user name have stopped working a few weeks ago on some pages.

For example, it works on these pages:

But it does not work on those pages:

I'm using Firefox 23 on Windows 7 (just upgraded to Firefox 23.0.1 but same behaviour). The behaviour started a few weeks ago, on 3 different PCs.

The popups I'm talking about:

  • Check the JavaScript console, see what error you get. Also check the loaded resources.

  • Also clear your browser's cache, you never know.

  • @ShaWizDowArd Do you know how to do that on Firefox? I have opened the Error Console but it does not show anything when I try to open those popups.

  • @assylias Firefox menu --> Web Developer --> Network. You'll probably see some JS resources failing to load.

  • It looks fine when I load stackoverflow.com but does not change when I click on the stackexchange button (i.e. it does not show new resources being loaded). When I look at the console tab, nothing happens when I click on the stackexchange button either (it behaves as if it were disabled).

  • "Too much recursion"? Stack Overflow is overflowing the stack? Oh, the irony.

Clearing cache, cookies etc. did not do anything.

In the end I uninstalled/reinstalled firefox and that solved the problem.
