Toolbar disabled, can't invoke NoScript menu

Post by ralfbergs »

Hi guys.

I had a case where a page opened a pop-up window, and on that pop-up window the icon toolbar was disabled, so I couldn't click on the NoScript icon to whitelist JavaScript URLs embedded in that page. So I thought I could invoke the NoScript menu from the page's page context menu. Indeed, I found the NoScript menu item, but clicking it had no (apparent) effect.

Here's a screenshot:

Is this a bug in NoScript? I'm using version 10.6.3, the latest as of today.

Thanks for any help.

I fixed it.

@ralfbergs Try experimenting with these about:config settings -

Code: Select all

dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar
dom.disable_window_open_feature.titlebar
dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar
Does setting one or more of those to true get you a NoScript icon in the popup?
(It's unlikely all of them would be needed. Which one(s) you need depends on how you have your toolbar customised.)

Thanks for fixing the image.

I do have the icon in the menu, as you can see from my screenshot.

Unfortunately I can no longer reproduce that popup, so I can't do any testing.

The issue @therube mentioned could be related, but I'm not sure.

I have a local test page that generates that type of popup. If you show a screenshot of where exactly you've put the NoScript toolbar icon in a normal browser window, I could try to check it myself.

Many thanks for your efforts.

Here's where I have the icon:

about:config > set dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar to true

Should be enough. Now you should see a >> button, click that and you should find the NoScript toolbar icon.
(NoScript's context menu item still didn't work for me.)

Did that, thanks. But as I said, can't test it at the moment... I will simply trust that what you said is true... :-)

Many thanks again.
