I did not manage to reproduce yet, been trying for 2 weeks now :( Does this happen reliably on a clean profile with just NoScript and FlashGot installed? http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16970&start=15#p59269 problem still present in 1.5.5.9rc1 xp sp3, Fx 23.0.1, new prof...

Unless what you're reporting is different (doesn't seem to be), it would make sense to keep it in one thread.

The extra requests are the bae minimum needed to build and show the FlashGot Media UI in the very specific and complex Youtube case. These extra requests are what I am referring to. They should be done (optionally) only on demand. If one does not intend to download the video, they are not necessary...

There's an additional problem I noticed which started with Fg 1.5.5.7 and is still present with 1.5.5.9rc1, occasionally, as I am opening background video tabs (one at a time), one ends up without a placeholder, just has a black rectangle. When (and only when) this happens the following error is log...

problem still present in 1.5.5.9rc1

xp sp3, Fx 23.0.1, new profile + FG + NS, block flash on trusted

does not happen always, to repro I open http://www.youtube.com/user/Google/videos and open videos in new tabs until it happens, ~3 attempts

Does 1.5.5.9rc1 have a fix for this? Maybe, tentatively (that's why it's not mentioned in the changelog), because I couldn't actually reproduce. Is there an option to disable speculative requests and only do it on demand? I'm not sure about the "speculative requests" you want to block, bu...

Does 1.5.5.9rc1 have a fix for this? The changelog does not appear to mention it.

Is there an option to disable speculative requests and only do it on demand?

Asking because it might be a conflict between the new signature sniffing code and NoScript's load deferral/redirection machinery.

yes to both

We're looking into this issue , probably caused by recent changes which, on the other hand, allowed for many previously non-downloadable Youtube content to be available. beyond fixing this, can you add an option so that anything like this (connections) is done only on demand and never speculatively...

Fx 17.0.8 & 23.0.1, NS 2.6.7.1, new profile, allow emberjs.com

the examples on http://emberjs.com/ don't load, error is logged to the console, removing the surrogate fixes this

Fx on win7 can now play (instead of downloading) mp4, mp3 and whatever else media.windows-media-foundation.enabled supports. Currently they are not being blocked.

regressed in 2.6.6.2rc1
