FTP emulation now needs scripts enabled

For a short time now FTP directory UI emulation only works on script-enabled domains and no longer on disabled ones like before.
Is this intentional, a bug or a problem on my side?

What is FTP emulation?
What & where are you seeing whatever it is that you are (not?) seeing?

So you're saying that on a "real" ftp:// site,
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/wi ... 1.16/misc/, columns; Name, Size, Date, are not clickable unless scripts are allowed.
Confirmed.
And what, you're saying that FF no longer natively supports ftp:// protocol, instead uses a "shim" to emulate it?
And now, for that "shim" to work (in a fuller manner), you need to allow JavaScript, & with NoScript, by default, blocking JavaScript...

Yes, exactly. Did work with disabled scripts before, though.
Seems to be a regression:
v 10.1.9.8
=============================================================
x Fixed preset customization UI showing inherited DEFAULT
permissions if a protocol-level preset exists
x Simplified CSP HTTP header injection, avoiding report-to
until actually supported by browsers
x [L10n] Updated ru (thanks fatboy)
+ [Tor] Better UX for overriding protocol-level permissions
+ [Build] Option to force TLD updates
+ [L10n] Updated (es, ru) and new (el, he, ms, nb) locales
from OTF's Localization Lab Transifex project
+ [L10n] no_BO translation by comradekingu
+ FTP directory UI emulation on script-disabled domains
x Include ftp:// URLs in non-secure domain matching (thanks
Rassilon for RFE)

Looks like Mozilla made some changes to the ftp pages that break the current workaround. Should be easy patch.

Still present in 10.6.3.

This is the relevant error message in Browser Console -
Code: Select all
ReferenceError: UA is not defined ftp.js:1:5
The referenced line -
For testing, I changed it to -
And this got it working.

You are right. That's the actual problem here. Missed that completely when I tested the updated script. Luckily there are few possible fixes for this. Sent patch suggestion to Giorgio, so hopefully fixed soon.

In 11.0.2rc1 the above error is intermittent, as if it's now a race condition. But FTP emulation still never works.
The following patch should fix the case when the race condition does *not* occur -
Code: Select all
diff --git a/src/lib/UA.js b/src/lib/UA.js
index d87efbb..db5df9d 100644

skriptimaahinen, did you ever hear back about your patch for the race condition?

I did send a reminder to Giorgio about this after the latest rc came out.
