Can you post the broken URL? The front page works as expected.

Comment 3 dontbother 2013-08-26 08:08:45 UTC
The URL is in the screenshot: http://about.me/tall.peca
The problem is the part in which firefox behaviour differs from chrome (screenshots).

Comment 4 Martin Stransky 2013-08-26 09:43:25 UTC
I tested an upstream Firefox and it's the same, so it's not something Fedora specific. If you want the bug fixed (not sure it's a Firefox bug actually) we will need a minimal testcase. Please create one and attach it as a zip archive. I can report it upstream then...

Comment 5 Martin Stransky 2013-08-26 09:45:38 UTC
It may also help to report it at about.me, it may be a broken site design as well as a some layout bug. But I guess it's something wrong on the site.

Comment 6 dontbother 2013-08-26 09:50:05 UTC
The problem component is the share button
/html/body/div[6]/div/div[2]/div/ul/li[2]/div
Minimal test-case:
1) Start firefox 23
2) open www.about.me/tall.peca
3) click the share button (/html/body/div[6]/div/div[2]/div/ul/li[2]/div), and nothing happens.

Comment 7 Martin Stransky 2013-08-26 10:00:31 UTC
A minimal testcase it a minimal html page which shows the problem. It's something we can attach to a bug as a standalone html code.

Comment 8 dontbother 2013-08-26 10:06:18 UTC
I don't understand.
I reported a bug in Firefox 23, which is latest in Fedora 19.
What else do you want from me?
I don't care what is a minimal html, because I'm not HTML developer or something.
Will you do something about this bug or is this bugzilla useless?
Do you have any problem understanding what I consider to be a bug?

Comment 9 Jan Horak 2013-08-26 10:08:21 UTC
Please try the safe mode first:
firefox -safe-mode
to check whenever some addon is the culprit.

Comment 10 Martin Stransky 2013-08-26 10:24:06 UTC
If you're sure it's a Firefox bug we need a minimal html code which shows the problem. Most likely it's a web design bug at the web page or an issue with Firefox extension you have installed, and we don't fix broken websites or third party extensions.

Comment 11 Martin Stransky 2013-08-26 10:25:00 UTC
There's a how to create the minimal testcase from given web page:

Comment 12 dontbother 2013-08-26 10:28:52 UTC
Not a Firefox bug.
Safe mode and step-by-step addon enabling revealed misconfigured plugin called disconnect.me
Disabling it solved the problem.
Thanks.

1) Download a recent nightly build of Firefox to avoid wasting time on a bug that is already fixed.

I didn't continue reading, that is completely out of my scope as a user of Fedora. Sorry.
How would I have Firefox 23 and recent nightly build together? Won't it mess my system up? This is probably meant for developers...
