Latest Build 1928 Appears TO Cause FF 3.x Crash On Pay Pal
I'm having issues where Firefox 3.0.10 crashes while logging onto Pay Pal. It started on 2 XP machines only after the latest No Script Update. Pay Pal tries to store a different cookie everytime on login. The crash happens at exactly the moment the system is dealing with the cookie. I have found 2 workarounds:
1. Completely disable No Script
or
2. After the crash, restart FF. Clear the cache & remove all Pay Pal cookies. I can then log on 1 time.
I'd appreciate a permanent workaround, disabling No Script is not an option!

Paypal works fine for me, and 1.9.2.8 contains no change which might cause a crash under the circumstances you're describing.
Are you using automatic secure cookie handling (NoScript Options|Advanced|HTTPS|Cookies)?
If not, maybe it's an extension conflict. Could you try Standard Diagnostic keeping NoScript enabled?

Re: Latest Build 1928 Appears TO Cause FF 3.x Crash On Pay Pal
Giorgio, thanks for replying! There is no question that on one of the 2 effected machines, the problem started IMMEADIATELY after installing the new No Script build earlier tonight; the problem did not impact that machine until the instant I installed the new build. I'm not as certain on the other machine; the problem started 2 days ago on it. I spent quite a bit of time trying to isolate the problem, & did disable extensions 1 by one, which is how I discovered that no script appears to be the culprit.

Sorry I forgot to answer your other question: I am not using secure Cookie Handling; I think that dates back to the ebay problem of a few months back. Should I try it?

Re: Latest Build 1928 Appears TO Cause FF 3.x Crash On Pay Pal
I appear to have it figured out. There are 2 separate issues:
1. Secure Cookie Management must be turned on in No Script
AND
2. Ad Block Pro must be disabled.
After deleting all Pay Pal cookies & doing both of the above I can log on.
Opera is also showing similar issues with no extensions, I suspect Pay Pal is pulling something fishy, but figuring out exactly what is beyond me. I've only run into this issue logging into a Pay Pal business account.

Re: Latest Build 1928 Appears TO Cause FF 3.x Crash On Pay Pal
My last post was incorrect. That workaround only worked if I logged on & off the Pay Pal site without going to another site in between. If I leave the Pay pal site, the problem returns. This is driving me crazy.

Could you try on a clean profile with just NoScript in its default configuration?

Re: Latest Build 1928 Appears TO Cause FF 3.x Crash On Pay Pal
Giorgio, I read your instructions for creating a new profile. I suspect the problem is my ignorance, but when I entered the string ending with -profilemanager into run, instead of profile manager, Firefox started up.
I tried running ff from a backup with the previous version of No Script. It crashed on Pay Pal also. I am really getting confused.

You said Opera is showing the same issues.
Might it be something at the networking level? Have you got a personal firewall or an antivirus with so-called "web shield"?

Re: Latest Build 1928 Appears TO Cause FF 3.x Crash On Pay Pal
On the XP boxes I',m using a hardware firewall in a Zyzel router & the standard Windows Firewall. AV is Avast; it's currently disabled. Also using Reg Run Gold.
Thanks for your help!

Re: Latest Build 1928 Appears TO Cause FF 3.x Crash On Pay Pal
The only other recent change was letting Spybot "immunise" my systems a couple days back. I did consider that a potential culprit, UNTIL turning on the 2nd machine today & accessing Pay Pal fine until the moment I updated No script.

Just to add, I use PayPal and I have the latest build and it works just fine for me, no issues. Tested it on 3 machines (Win7, Win XP, Ubuntu).

@Guest:
please
please
- install latest development build 1.9.2.91, which contains a new feature to export your full NoScript configuration in a text file.
- Open NoScript Options and click the new Export button on the bottom left of the window
- Click "Reset" and check if the problem persist

Giorgio, it didn't solve the problem.
Another odd problem has come up with your forum site; It now always says
I've entered the wrong confirmation code. This happened on more then 20 attempts.
I registered & no longer see the code so can once again post.
