[Bug & Suggestion] JavaScript Error + Navigating

I recently downloaded a FF addon named "SmarterFox". One of the features is that when you get to the end of a page, it will automagically start loading the next page in the same window so you can continuously scroll down and down never having to click a thing or wait.
BUG:
The bug for Wowhead lies in the fact that when this happends, Wowhead pops up the javascript error.
"This site makes extensive use of JavaScript.Please enable JavaScript in your browser."
Now obviously I have JS and everything needed. This would not be so bad except this error message prevents me from doing anything else on the page. Clicking links or anything else (not the best way to put up a error message but that's another thread).
Suggestion:
I found this as I was coming here to write this bug report actually. On the top of the page right below the tabs, you will have a section that looks like this "
Forums > Classes > Paladin
" or something smiler. As it stands right now, when I hover over the "Forums" link, I do not get a list of forums. Instead I get a list of the tabs already present ontop of every page on the sight except the main page. I find this to be unneeded redundant and slightly annoying as people have to
navigate to the forum menu after navigating to the forum menu
. :P

This actually isn't an error message—it's what the pages actually look like. With javascript disabled, this page is just text telling you that you need to enable javascript. When you enable javascript, the javascript directs your browser to display the content before that page loads. This sounds like a bug in SmarterFox—that it isn't able to load javascript content properly when it pre-loads the new page. Not sure if there's anything we can do there.
As far as the suggestion goes, the system up there is called a "breadcrumb" system. It visually represents the drop-down menus up at the top, to make sure you know exactly were you are and how to "trace your steps" (Get it? Breadcrumbs.) back to where you started. The idea is that you can mouse over and stage of the drilldown menu, and change it to something else. For instance, at the top of this page, you can mouse over "Forums" and go to "Database" if you want to search the DB instead. If you just want to search a new forum, you mouse over "Site Feedback" and click a different forum name. I admit that the dropdown on the initial breadcrumb isn't really necessary, but it seems silly to make it work DIFFERENTLY from all the others. :)
