[FIXED] 5.1.3 Blocks bookmarklets w/ "Globally allow..."

[Alpha123]

I've got a bookmarked JavaScript used to force web pages to allow saving of form information. The most recent version of NoScript blocks it, and I can't figure out if there are any settings that will allow running it beyond disabling NoScript alltogether. Whitelisting a site isn't good enough to let it work.

All my bookmarklets stopped working since 5.1.3.

I've tried enabling "noscript.allowURLBarJS" in about:config but that didn't help.

Would be grateful if anyone can provide any background or hints on what we can do to enable bookmarklets short of disabling NoScript.

This works for me:

• A simple

  Code: Select all

  javascript:alert("test")

  bookmarklet
• executed by clicking its button on the bookmarks bar
• on Fx 56 clean profile with NoScript 5.1.3
• both on whitelisted and non-whitelisted pages
• either immediately after restartless installation or after a browser restart.

Do your testing conditions match mine, and if not what are the differences?

Could you please:

1. Send me the code of your bookmarklets for puntual testing
2. Check wheter the NoScript Options>Advanced>Untrusted>Forbid bookmarklets preference is unchecked as it should
3. Whether resetting NoScript's options (after exporting them for recovering) helps
4. Whether disabling the other extensions (or trying a clean profile) helps

It seems the NoScript setting

Code: Select all

"global":true

is what breaks the bookmarklets.

I tested your bookmarklet with a clean Firefox 56.0.1 profile with NoScript 5.1.3 and default NoScript settings => works ok;

After selecting the checkbox to allow scripts globally, the bookmarklet doesn't work anymore.

I exported the working settings and the non-working settings, and it seems

Code: Select all

"global":true

is the only difference.

Does that help?

Does that help?

Yes, a lot. Please check latest development build 5.1.4rc1, thanks.

Ah, bookmarklets was the word I was trying to think of. The checkbox disabling them is unchecked. I did try using a different profile. Earlier today I had re-enabled forbid global scripts and the test script that was posted worked, but the one I posted below didn't. Now can't get either to work.

This is the code:

Code: Select all

javascript:(function(){var%20ac,c,f,fa,fe,fea,x,y,z;ac="autocomplete";c=0;f=document.forms;for(x=0;x<f.length;x++){fa=f[x].attributes;for(y=0;y<fa.length;y++){if(fa[y].name.toLowerCase()==ac){fa[y].value="on";c++;}}fe=f[x].elements;for(y=0;y<fe.length;y++){fea=fe[y].attributes;for(z=0;z<fea.length;z++){if(fea[z].name.toLowerCase()==ac){fea[z].value="on";c++;}}}}alert("Enabled%20'"+ac+"'%20on%20"+c+"%20objects.");})();

t. Now can't get either to work.

Did you try latest development build 5.1.4rc1?

Did you try latest development build 5.1.4rc1?

Sorry didn't say, no I didn't. Sounds like it fixes the issue though, so I'd guess it will go into the release version at some point. Thanks!

I did get the latest development build installed, and it does work. Thanks again!

Thanks – I uninstalled 5.1.3, reinstalled 5.1.4rc1, now bookmarklets work with "Globally allow".
