[RESOLVED] Readability bookmarklet stopped working

Post by Sharakh »

I've been using NoScript with the Readability bookmarklet for some several months now, but it recently stopped working.

When I first used Readability, all I needed to do was whitelist Arc90 and it worked without having to allow the site I was trying to modify. For example, I didn't have to allow Huffingtonpost.com to run the bookmarklet on a Huffington Post article. Now I must allow the site I'm trying to view as well.

I don't use it daily so I'm not positive of exactly when it changed but I think it stopped when FF updated to 3.5.8. I updated (today) to NS 1.9.9.50, and I'm still seeing the problem. "Forbid bookmarklets on untrusted sites" is not selected.

Everything I've been able to find here so far (Including http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopi ... 6502#p6502 this forum post from last June) seems to say that the Readability bookmarklet should not have this problem, although the Readability Add On still does. (I spotted the developer actively working on that, actually.)

Have I missed something? What else should I look at to solve this? I'm totally assuming PIBCAC here, since it worked so painlessly before.

It works beautifully now. I was expecting to have to wait for at least a couple of weeks. Thank you so much.
