The colour doesn't show for me on hover. Any idea why?

What the title says. Doesn't matter if the colour is highlighted or not, or if I also include the hash in the highlight. Just doesn't seem to work.

On Firefox latest version in Windows 7.

I suspect it's the browser, because I use Firefox, too. It works if I use Chrome, but I'd rather use Firefox anyway.

Nope it doesn't work for me either. I'm also using Firefox with Win 7.

One possibility is that you're within the work challenge screen rather than the separate workspaces screen. When you finish a video and get a work challenge, that code area does not have the built-in features like color on hover. Using the separate workspaces page, the color on hover should work.
