Description

Per T108424, we should fix the bug in RevisionJumper that breaks certain links in Firefox.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:DerHexer/revisionjumper#Revisionjumper_option_in_Firefox_kills_section_anchor_links_to_oldid_revisions:

I'm trying to make a link to a section (or subsecion) of an old version of an article. Clicking the link takes me to the old version of the article, but the section anchor seems to have no effect. The cursor always ends up at the top of the page. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:DVdm&oldid=655052178#Proper_length

It looks like this is due to Firefox never completing the page load for some reason.

I haven't been able to reproduce this with Firefox 40.0.3 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0).

I enabled RevisionJumper in my preferences and went back to the diff reported on the talk page. The page loaded as normal.

The bug report mentioned that using NoScript might have been a problem. I set NoScript to block JS on wikipedia.org, and went to the diff link with section. It loaded normally.

This needs more testing to reproduce and/or more information in the bug report. Commented on the talk page.
