zeit.de quiz not working with NSA 3.5a10

Post by jw243 »

On zeit.de, the quiz (Der Wissenstest des Tages) does not work with NSA 3.5a10 installed on orfox 38.0 from 23.09.2015, even if all scripts are whitelisted. This happens with all permissions presets. It doesn't seem to matter whether clearclick, xss or ABE are selected or not.

The only way to get the quiz to work is to disable NSA.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards.

Can you elaborate on "does not work"? Does the page load? Partially load? Is there a specific button that doesn't do anything when clicked?

The quiz is embedded into the main page. It is apparently loaded from a different source.

The startpage of the quiz applet has a central "SPIELEN" button. Normally, when it is pressed, the next page with the first question opens. With NSA installed however, the circle arround the button changes from light grey to darker grey but nothing else happens.

In the top right corner of the quiz applet, there is an options button. With NSA installed, this button is dead.

Hope, this helps.

Best regards.

For some reason, the problem has disappeared. The quiz is now working with NSA being active.

Thanks for your help.

I have found the reason, why the quiz sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. The quiz needs the script "brightcove.net" and "brightcove.com" activated to work. However, NSA doesn't offer me to whitelist those scripts.

These scripts are also needed for videos to play on zeit.de. When I tried do play an embedded video, NSA successively offers me the needed scripts for whitelisting. Once I have whitelisted these two scripts, the quiz works, too.

There seems to be a bug in NSA 3.5a10 that it does not always list all available or needed scripts for whitelisting. Maybe you could have a look into this issue. I have found the same thing with a different script on a different site, which I will explain in another thread.
