[FireFox] DSL Reports Hot Forum Topics - Tabs problem

Click for full size
Can anyone hazard a guess why Firefox on my machine has suddenly stopped moving the active column in response to a mouse click in the Hot Topics section of DSL's top page.

Works with IE on my machine, works with Firefox on other machines at this place, doesn't work on this one no matter how I start Firefox. Safe mode, Reset, regardless, the selection doesn't move.

Just started this week after about 10 years of no problems.

Same issue here, on Windows 8. Maybe post a bug here? »Feedback

Doesn't matter. I disabled all add-ons and got the same results.

Re: [FireFox] DSL Reports Hot Forum Topics - Tabs problem

Same here...didn't notice yesterday, but I did today...

this was the first time I have been logged in for a couple months though, not sure if it affected it or just unhelpful coincidence.

edit: Firefox 24.0 AND 25.0, Windows 8.1.

It works in a new, clean Profile.
So something Profile related, just not sure what?

You could try Safe Mode, which would disable all extensions, & see if that makes a difference?

In a Profile where it does not work, I get:
Error: ReferenceError: Tabber is not defined
Source File: http://www.dslreports.com/
Line: 106
 
With line 106 containing the code for that "tab".

It all centers around whether you're logged in or not. It's not browser specific, safe, private, blah, blah, blah.

Login and it dies, won't select.

Not that I can see.
In the Profiles that it works, it works regardless of whether I'm logged in or not.
