Is this a site bug?

I have noticed this issue on 2 different guides:

For reference (in case anyone needs it), I am running W7 x64 and am using FF Quantum ESR 60.0.2 as my current web browser.

The issue in question (and what I believe is a bug) happens when you hover over an image. I am used to getting 3 options:

  • Full screen
  • Copy image
  • Metadata

This bug is annoying because I use this feature to verify if I am using the correct file with more then one of what I am covering and I need to be sure I used the final image when there are similar images that didn't make it. When I hover over an image, this is what I see now:

Block Image

Is this a feature change or a bug? If it's a feature change what will I need to do to check the metadata on the photo I used vs the final intended photo to make sure I picked the right image?

Visual ID isn't always ideal. If I have 2 images and one has issues I corrected in a very similar reshoot or edit, I account for this in 2 ways:

  • The file name (edited)
  • Visual cues that I can readily see or the file name (reshoot)

Having access to the data made verification really easy; check the name and make sure I used the current version or edit.

Update

@evan here's the console errors I get

Hey @nick,

This is what I see when I roll over the image:

Can you try rolling over the image with your browser console open and tell me if you see any errors?

EDIT:

I’m seeing the same expected behavior in Firefox 59.0.2 on my Mac. I’ll upgrade to v60 and let you know if anything breaks.

EDIT 2:

Okay. I tested on Firefox v60 on my Mac and a Win 7 VM and I can’t reproduce the bug. Are you running your browser with some JS features disabled?

I do run NoScript and do rely on my old settings because I know they work. I enable the iFixit JS since I need it (and the corresponding Cloudflare.net JS) but I have the trackers set to untrusted and blocked from running. I've traditionally blocked pollyfill.io since it acts as a way to help work with older browsers and I don't have such problems. I would imagine you need it if you use Internet Exploder but not on FF. I block ALL trackers as a general rule.

Was this moved to pollyfil.io? I'll still try it and see but that's how I've always set NoScript to run. I also block hotjar, since it hasn't historically been required and nothing broke without it running.

UPDATE

I set Hotjar and pollyfill to Temporary trusted to see if it helps, and it does not.

Yup. I just checked the polyfills that get served to Firefox and there are none. Hotjar is a monitoring tool and wouldn't help either. Did you check your console for errors? If there are none I can only guess that your browser settings are suppressing some JS functions.

@evan I just added that screenshot to the post. Maybe something broke with Quantum 60 ESR, since it isn't updated as frequently and it's a long standing bug since ESR isn't commonly used.

I don't run the JS for ifixit-documents by default (not required unless the guide has a embedded PDF like the B210a cleaning guide where I include the SMPTE color bars to test the printer, since testing a color range has a better chance of exposing hidden problems) so I enable that as needed. I never changed my settings from legacy FF because NoScript 9 wasn't as intuitive to revert untrusted JS. NoScript 10 is better about this, so it's less of a problem to make changes.
