[Resolved] Can't open local files in Tor Browser (Firefox ESR) with the newest NoScript

Post by opusqqqg »

NoScript 11.0.39 (the newest, I think)
Tor Browser 9.5.3 based on Firefox 68.11.0esr 64bit
Linux 64bit

Tor Browser with NoScript with the newest version, it can open remote urls but can't open local files. With older version NoScript, it could open the files. And it can open the files without NoScript. Any suggestions?

"Browser Console" of Tor Browser showed below errors repeatedly when it can't open the files:

Code: Select all

Error: TelemetryStopwatch: key "WEBEXT_CONTENT_SCRIPT_INJECTION_MS" was already initialized
Error: TelemetryStopwatch: key "WEBEXT_CONTENT_SCRIPT_INJECTION_MS_BY_ADDONID" was already initialized
Error: TelemetryStopwatch: requesting elapsed time for nonexisting stopwatch. Histogram: "WEBEXT_CONTENT_SCRIPT_INJECTION_MS", key: ""
Error: TelemetryStopwatch: requesting elapsed time for nonexisting stopwatch. Histogram: "WEBEXT_CONTENT_SCRIPT_INJECTION_MS_BY_ADDONID", key: "{********-****-****-****-***********}"
...
It may be a problem only with Tor Browser or my environment. But I posted this here in anticipation of getting helps from NoScript gurus! Thanks :)

No, it's a bug due to a Tor Browser specific behavior (wiping out window.name on every document load).
It's fixed in latest development build.
v 11.0.40rc2

Ok, then please report back when your wait is over, and let's only then decide whether to mark this Resolved.

Unfortunately, I'm having a new issue with the combination of NoScript 11.0.40 and the Tor browser.
Most mouse operations (right-click menu, wheel scroll, etc.) other than link clicking and scroll bar operations are no longer working for local files (file:///).

Yes, i can see the regression: unless file: is (temporarily) TRUSTED, events are swallowed (not just in the Tor Browser).
I'm gonna release a fix right away, later today.
