GMX Email Web Login

Hi,

when trying to login to GMX freemail at www.gmx.net a window appears that says, your browser is too old. Using FF 63.0.3 64bit and noscript 10.2.0. Everything is set to allowed in ns.
The same happened with the previous version of noscript. When noscript is disabled, login works fine.

Cheers

I do get "Your browser is not supported" error if some of the script sources (like uicdn.com) is not allowed, but after enabling those things work as expected.

However, I can only test on the international version of GMX (gmx.com) but not the German only gmx.net. Which one are you using?

Have you set privacy.resistFingerprinting to true in about:config? This would cause the message.

Setting resistFingerprinting to true, tracking protection to strictest or even using private browsing made no difference on gmx.com - still works.

I am using GMX myself and setting resistFingerprinting shows a message saying that the browser is old, because the apparent Firefox version 60 is older than the current one. The message appears at the top of the page. I can see that with TOR browser and Firefox 63.0.3 with enabled resistFingerprinting and assume that's the same message which t0f75 sees:

However, if it's the same message, GMX still works fine as long as the sites are allowed which are necessary for GMX once one is logged in. The main site (gmx.net, for example, depending on where you are) and ui-portal.de have to be allowed to see the message.
