Facebook Connect Popups

Post by sabret00the »

I've noticed that I always get facebook connect popping up in new tabs when I have this enabled. Is there anyway to stop this from happening? Clearly NS is trying to do something to prevent them, but they seem to be getting through anyway.

I also noticed the same thing on viewing the page first time (no popup on page refresh), but only in FF4 beta (no problems in FF 3.6.13).

Yes I can confirm this. Also I have a blog that seconds before show the warning about its content, it open all media (mostly youtube) in tabs. It opens about 10 tabs with only a embedded video as content.
I have default configuration using FF 4 RC1. this issue happens with previous betas but I don't remember if wasn't happen with a specific version of Noscript

1) 1st site: http://www.cosmo.gr . If click (it is in Greek) any link (ex. http://www.cosmo.gr/ArtsEnt/Hellas/313793.html) it will open in new tab http://www.connect.facebook.com/widgets ... obar=&css=
This happens only the first time visit this site and only in first link.

2) http://www.ierosagon.org/ (also in Greek). Blog. This moment I write this message has been open 3 tabs with the 3 videos from youtube like If I have had open these 3 videos at their own windows (without any html code, video=tab).
Most of the times if this blog has more videos it will open more tabs....
I had check that if disable as extension noscript none of these issues happens (for a moment I wasn't sure if is problem of NoScript or Adblock).
You can check them by youself. Maybe you can find what is wrong.....

Same problem here! I'm using firefox 4rc1

I can reproduce the problem. Every time when I visit some pages on first visit only, facebook connect is popping up. If I clear history and cache, the problem is popping again.

For example I visit: http://www.wired.com then: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/ ... duct-tape/ it will open new tab automaticaly.

In these 2 sites I mention before no issue found with this dev build..... Probably it's ok.
