Many thanks for the reply barbaz.
I've whitelisted translate.google.cn in No Script (translate.googleapis.com and translate.google.com where already there).
Regarding the top-level sites I had them already enabled (not all the javascripts in the website tho) but I still have some issues. I will try to check and sort on a case-by-case basis.

I will let you know in case of updates.

All the best,
SergeGardien

That dev has a history of writing addons that mess with NoScript internals. So I did some digging and found this code -

Code: Select all

s3gt.utils.check_noscript = function(win, domain, is_confirm) {
	var is_change_rule = false;
	//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	// check NoScript (Giorgio Maone <g.maone@informaction.com>)
	// https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=ss
	//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	try {
		if ("noscriptOverlay" in window) {
			var confirm_res = true;
			//----------------------------------------------------------------------
			// it's enabled, which happens also if just domain is whitelisted
			//----------------------------------------------------------------------
			if (noscriptOverlay.ns.isJSEnabled(domain)) {
				// good!
			}
			else {
				if (is_confirm) {
					var confirm_txt = s3gt.utils.get_string('s3gt.confirm.translate.full.page.noscript');
					confirm_txt = confirm_txt.replace("DOMAIN", '"' + domain + '"');
					confirm_res = confirm(confirm_txt);
				}
				if (confirm_res) {
					//----------------------------------------------------------
					// temporarily added site in NoScript-White-List
					//----------------------------------------------------------
					noscriptOverlay.ns.setTemp(domain, true);
					noscriptOverlay.ns.setJSEnabled(domain, true);
					is_change_rule = true;
				}
			}
			//----------------------------------------------------------------------
			//-- temporarily added: translate.googleapis.com, translate.google.com, translate.google.cn
			//----------------------------------------------------------------------
			if (confirm_res) {
				var domain_list = ['translate.googleapis.com', 'translate.google.com', 'translate.google.cn'];
				for (var d=0; d<domain_list.length; d++) {
					if (! noscriptOverlay.ns.isJSEnabled(domain_list[d])) {
						noscriptOverlay.ns.setTemp(domain_list[d], true);
						noscriptOverlay.ns.setJSEnabled(domain_list[d], true);
						is_change_rule = true;
					}
				}
			}
			if (is_change_rule) {
				noscriptOverlay.ns.quickReload(win);
			}
		}
	} catch(e) {
	}

	return is_change_rule;
}
At least this one prompts explicitly before touching the NoScript permissions. Image

Looks like you need to Temp-Allow the top-level site as well as Allow some google translate domains.

No Script conflicting with "S3.Google Translate" addon

by SergeGardien » Tue Jul 04, 2017 8:33 pm

I've just installed the S3.Google Translate addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ranslator/) to enable websites auto-translation under Firefox in a similar fashion to what happens in Google Chrome (for a better explanation of what I'm trying to achieve read the post at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3031479).

I was having some issues with the auto-translation feature of S3.Google Translate hence I disabled No Script. I was guessing that No Script "anti-XSS" (cross-site scripting) could interfere with that plugin even without any warning.

In effect, now that I disabled No Script, S3.Google Translate activates the auto-translation much more often.
I've also posted an help request on S3.Google Translate thread on forum.mozillazine.org (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... #p14754784)

Can you please help me sorting out what's the specific conflict here?
S3.Google Translate uses the Google API to ask and provide a translation for the website hence I guess that No Script blocks such requests.
How can I disable such block for this specific addon?
