ABE With Facebook Photo Uploader

Postby MegaVortex » Wed Mar 24, 2010 10:35 pm

I am attempting to upload a photo to a fan page on Facebook, and ABE seems to be blocking me from doing so. After a Google search, I followed the instructions located at http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=3725. I now do not get the ABE error from NoScript, but instead it always shows an option to allow 127.0.0.1 on a random port, which I thought that the ":*" after 127.0.0.1 should cover. It seems that Facebook keeps using a random port, and as such my rule isn't working. Can anyone help me? Below is what I have in the System file for ABE:

Code: Select all
# Facebook Photo Uploader Plugin exception
Site http://127.0.0.1:*/photos/uploader_iframe.php?*
Accept from *.facebook.com

The ABE rule is working.
The "Allow 127.0.0.1:xyz" message you're getting is not from ABE, but from NoScript's JavaScript permissions system.
If the uploader keeps complaining, try to add 127.0.0.1:0 to NoScript Options|Whitelist as well.

I get to EDIT and am stopped because windows does not know what program created the thing I am attempting to EDIT.
As soon as I hit EDIT, I receive this pop up.
WINDOWS CANNOT OPEN THIS FILE
SYSTEM.abe

How do I get around this?

Q: ABE seems to block Facebook's Photo Uploader Plugin. What can I do?
A: Open NoScript Options|Advanced|ABE, select the SYSTEM ruleset, click "Edit" and insert the following rule at the beginning of the file:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

In particular,

Select the program from a list and choose Notepad, it will work.
