[FIXED] Local html file fails if Firefox isn't already running

Post by selden »

I'm using
NoScript 11.2
FireFox 85.0.2 (64-bit)
Windows 10 Pro x64 20H2

Interactive Fiction compiler tweego 2.1.1
Interactive Fiction story format SugarCube 2.34.1

A story created using tweego and SugarCube is an HTML file containing javascript.
----
Problem:
Interactive Fiction stories fail with a runtime error when Firefox v85.0.1 is NOT already open and I click on (select) an HTML file generated by tweego. This problem is also encountered when Firefox is NOT already open and I “drag and drop” the HTML file onto Firefox’s desktop icon.

The runtime error message is
Error: can’t redefine non-cofigurable property “_real_stringify”.

This problem is NOT seen if I disable the NoScript add-on or if the story is opened in a copy of Firefox which is already running.

According to the author of tweego and SugarCube, this problem seems to have started after some recent change to NoScript and is not something he can fix.

A discussion of this problem can be seen at https://intfiction.org/t/firefox-compat ... lems/49305

A copy of a failing story HTML (minimum.html) is available in this Zip file:
https://www.classe.cornell.edu/~seb/files/minimum.zip (140 KB, expands to 490 KB)

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

Thank you for your report.
I couldn't reproduce your issue as described, likely because I couldn't try on a Windows machine, but I could produce the same effect by disabling and re-enabling NoScript from the add-ons manager.

I'm not sure the root cause is the same, but I could fix my own instance in latest development build. Could you please check if this fixes your instance as well? Thanks.

It was on AMO, but messed up with the synchronization. Fixed, thanks.
