I edited the js to make it work with Firefox 23 and it was working fine.
But this morning links in wikipedia no longer pop-up, I didn't change anything.

WFM.
At least I think so. What do you mean by 'link in wikipedia'? Some link to a wikipedia page, or a link from one wikipedia page to another one? Anyway, both WFM.
Sometimes the wikipedia server may not respond to wikilook's request for technical reasons - it has happened before.

Thanks, looks like I have an issue.
By 'link in wikipedia' I mean on a wikipedia page, hovering over a link to another wikipedia article; ie the "Enable automatic appearance of WikiLook pop-up when mouse is over WikiLinks" in the Advance Tab of WikiLook Options.
The wikipedia servers are responding, right-click WikiLook works as normal.

Definitely a problem, even Removed and re added the (patched) wikilook.
All features work except the "automatic appearance of WikiLook pop-up when mouse is over WikiLinks".
Once a wikilink pop-up is shown then automatic pop-up of links (from the first pop-up) works as it used to...

It's getting worse, now the box pops-up but it only has the top line (tittle, actions etc) no article text.

I've seen this too during the last 24 hours; but now pop-ups look normal again.

This was all down to Wikipedia bug with HTTPS being enforced. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54626
Wikilook doesn't work for https wiki pages. I'm looking into whether that can be patched, but for now if you have this problem:
goto wikipedia preferences, make sure "Always use a secure connection when logged in" is not selected.
you may also need to (for Firefox, don't know about others) goto tools/page info/security/view-cookies and delete cookies names forceHTTPS
Even then I had to struggle to get it to stick.
