If I disable some old extensions to enable multiprocess/e10s in Firefox then I can no longer run bookmarklets unless NoScript permits the site/all sites.

This issue has been reported before, e.g. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=22690. Is there a plan to fix it?

This is a problem in Firefox 40 when you enter text in a textarea, the error occurring many times per character; many hundreds of times, therefore, in a short message like this one.

Wasn't aware of that version, but behaviour is the same.

On a script-forbidden domain, this bookmarklet now opens an about:blank window: javascript:(function(){window.open('data:text/html,'+encodeURIComponent('<p>hello'))})() sometimes with the console warning: "[Exception... "<no message>" nsresult: "0x805e0007 (<unknown>)" locat...

Thanks, Giorgio. I haven't seen 'too much recursion' since. XHR doesn't work in Scratchpad for some reason but it's back again in bookmarklets, which is excellent news.

Cheers.

It might be possible to reproduce this one only during a long session: /* * This is a JavaScript Scratchpad. * * Enter some JavaScript, then Right Click or choose from the Execute Menu: * 1. Run to evaluate the selected text (Ctrl+R), * 2. Inspect to bring up an Object Inspector on the result (Ctrl+...

I agree.

window.setTimeout/Interval() remain unavailable on script-disabled sites, but then I suspect that was already the case after last month's Firefox changes and it's not a very serious loss anyway.

Thanks Giorgio.

Same as last time. Load a page, add an event listener in a bookmarklet or Scratchpad. Listener won't fire unless scripts are enabled for that domain.

... and XHR and window.setTimeout() and dev tools, again! Same test cases as when Fx 27 broke them a month ago. Tested with NS 2.6.8.18rc1.

Thank you for your hard work, Giorgio. Event listeners (and XHRs) have indeed been restored in FF 27 and all but one of the side-effects worked around. There just remains the question of window.open().document.write(), which now only works in a bookmarklet if you enable scripting for the host domain...

Looks promising when I paste a bookmarklet into the address bar, but it has disabled all my saved bookmarklets which cause an assortment of syntax errors. I guess this may be a failure to decode '%20' - about the only escaping Firefox does when saving ASCII javascript URLs as bookmarks. That restric...

Full marks for re-enabling eventListeners/XHRs but a couple of things are, sadly, lost along the way. Bookmarklets enabled by NoScript in the new way - can't return a string of HTML: javascript:'<h3>'+new Date()+'</h3>' - can't use document.write() This makes it impossible to achieve some things tha...

I'll test it some more over coming days, but it looks like you've solved not only this issue, but http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopi ... 10&t=13040 too, which is great news.

Many thanks.

Sorry, Giorgio, I'm not seeing any difference with that version.

Can any of the bookmarklets be converted to surrogate scripts? Thanks, Thrawn, that sounds like a good idea for some of my regular haunts. On the other hand, I quite often use bookmarklets to modify a page for printing: click to delete page content I don't want printed and put what remains in as ti...
