Noscript incompatibility with Lycos mail

Post by GeneralEclectic »

This is occurring in two instances of FF 3.5.5 and the latest release of Noscript (as of 10 Dec 09) on Win7 x86 and on one instance of the same thing on Vista x64.

When forwarding mail in Lycos mail as long as Noscript is enabled, AND with All Allowed on this page, clicking the send button causes an error "Not allow this request". Oddly, when one is composing NEW mail it will send properly -- the problem occurs only on forwarding.

If you disable Noscript (and restart FF) the mail is forwarded without error, even without taking the step of allowing "all this page" (while lycos.com is allowed, of course).

It's not that I like Lycos mail all that much, but my wife does and I'm hearing no end of griping about this. I hope you can get this found and fixed so I can have some peace.

I tried to create a Lycos account so that I could reproduce this, but they are not accepting any new free memberships. (I had an account with Angelfire many years ago, when they were owned or bought by Lycos.)

Could you please list your Firefox add-ons, and try the General Troubleshooting Instructions, up to, and including, Standard Diagnostic if necessary, to diagnose a possible extension conflict, corrupt extension, etc.?

I can tell you that my webmail, Yahoo, keeps changing things that weren't broken, loading objects to upload or download attachments, loading multiple objects to get to your Contacts list, and even using an IFrame for the Options (Preferences) -- all of which could be done with a simple click and no extra objects before. Probably a similar issue at Lycos.

If that does not work, then we will investigate other options. Thanks. (btw, funny username! :lol: )
