[FIXED] Facebook streaming video failing

Post by djk »

Using FireFox 61.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 with NoScript 10.1.8.9 Facebook streaming will not display even if all sites listing in NoScript for the Facebook tab are marked as trusted. If disable restrictions for this tab is selected it works. I have tried resetting and adding the listed site back to trusted with no success. This appears to have started in the last day. The links below are examples. Any thoughts?

Experiencing the same issue as described, same setup. Only way to get it to work is turn off restrictions. :(

It seems there one site not being listed that came up when I unlocked the require https for facebook.com. The 'hidden' site is fbsbx.com. facebook.com and fbcdn.net are the only ones that display in the listing of sites. If all three are trusted in the NoScript Options per site listing tab and I lock one and reload the stream it works but the go back and reload the page again it does not work. If I unlock that and reload it work but reload again and it does not. Curious behavior.

No issues here.
Both play just fine.

Is this going to be Win10 specific?
10-10-10.
All we need is one more Win10 user & then we can say, 10-4.

I don't use Twitch, but that active thread is describing essentially the same problem as this one.... mods, admins, developers: take note, please. @therube, I see you replied there, too, saying no issues for you, either, but somethin's amiss here.

Yes there is something amiss, & I'm sure it's the same cause for each, & with it being Win10 specific.

Additional information using another machine with FireFox 61.0.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 with NoScript 10.1.8.8 (previous release not the .9) and the streaming works. I installed the development release over the 10.1.8.8 release and the streaming appear to continue to work. I will follow up the other machine later.

10.1.8.15 may have fixed this. No issues in FB videos thus far after about 6 individual tests, including different tabs. Thank you!

The 10.1.18.16 release appears to fix the issue on the original machine. Thank you for the quick resolution.
