noscrip 1.9.1.2 in Firefox/Linux

[oneman]

Hi guys,

It's the first time I have to uninstall (temporarily) noscript, and I've used it for a long time now. Since the latest 1.9.1.2 update, allowing javasript in most sites crashes Firefox. The window just closes, period. I've uninstalled FF, reinstalled, recreated a profile, reinstall noscript extension, it's a no go. So I just won't use it until a new version is out. Adding there's absolutely no problem in Windows, with the same FF version (3.07). Thanks for your help.

There's no change from 1.9.1 (previous stable release) and 1.9.1.2 which can justify these crashes.
Anyway, could you try installing previous versions from http://noscript.net/feed, in order to understand if it's actually a change in NoScript causing this problem or some other change in your system?

OK will do; thanks for your reply. I'll post the results back here.

so 1.9.1.1 is OK. Problem is to make sure I tried again after this with 1.9.1.2 and it works too now. Don't know what happened,
if it's another extension conflicting (maybe tab mix plus that I removed in the meantime, but I had crashes after that too), or a Linux update,
or FF 3.0.7 that came only a few days ago in Linux, no idea...

OK go it: the culprit was a theme (RedShift V3). So running ns together with this theme in FF3.07, but in Linux only, makes the browser crash (either close or freeze) as soon as a page is refreshed after an ns permission granted. Manual refresh of a page doesn't do that.

i have to say, there's something in noscript that doesn't play well with tabmix plus the past week or two. on my blogspot page, the first screenful of browser is opaque; i can see the page below it, but clicking on any portion of it absolutely fails. scroll the page far enough, and you see "normal" page below that is fully-functional. both programs played well together (as far as i was concerned) for over a year. this has only changed since about the first of april, maybe a few days earlier.

tell tabmix plus to change permissions to DISABLE javascript, and the whole page displays correctly. refresh the page, and the permission changes back to ENABLE on its own when NS is enabled.

now, the strange part: tabmix folks tell me to disable noscript, and lo, my opaque webpage is no longer opaque. tabmix permissions (unchecking javascript) stay the way they should, no matter how many times i refresh the screen. re-enable noscript, and the permissions enable javascript on their own every single time i refresh the screen.

i don't know who is the problem child, but the two of you should work this out. i've spent several days on this with them, and it's only because we've been experimenting that we found this. i can't understand why your program would be changing tabmix's permissions at all, and yet i can watch it happen. i can't understand why tabmix would care if you were installed, but it does.

it only happens (so far as i can tell) on my blogspot webpage. if i untrust blogspot.com, the problem goes away (presumeably because noscript is told to turn off ALL silverlight / java / javascript / etc for all untrusted sites)...

thoughts?

Can I see this web page? And does the problem persist with latest version?

Not to doubt you and will let Giorgio respond on this but just to add, I use TMP and I think even Giorgio does too and it does not have problems with NS. Now I know my display shows I am on windows but I actually use 3 different versions of Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian) and I have not seen this happen yet. *knock on wood, maybe I got lucky* but I am thinking there has to be something else.
