[RESOLVED] NS flash freeze on gamespot

Post by Nick_h »

Whenever I try to watch a flash video on gamespot, say http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/ ... atchlink;3 whenever I click to enter my birthday, firefox temporarily freezes for a short while. I tried disabling noscript, which solved the problem, but I wanna keep using noscript. Any advice?

Confirmed.
It's due to ClearClick.
If you know you'll be visiting a site where ClearClick has a profound affect like that, disable it, remembering when you leave the site, to re-enable it.

Easy and safe work-around: add www.gamespot.com to the noscript.clearClick.exception about:config preference (space separated).

Yeppers. That's a better way to do it.
