ABE With Facebook Photo Uploader

Post by MegaVortex »

I am attempting to upload a photo to a fan page on Facebook, and ABE seems to be blocking me from doing so. After a Google search, I followed the instructions located at http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopi ... =23&t=3725. I now do not get the ABE error from NoScript, but instead it always shows an option to allow 127.0.0.1 on a random port, which I thought that the ":*" after 127.0.0.1 should cover. It seems that Facebook keeps using a random port, and as such my rule isn't working. Can anyone help me? Below is what I have in the System file for ABE:

Code: Select all

# Facebook Photo Uploader Plugin exception
Site http://127.0.0.1:*/photos/uploader_iframe.php?*

The ABE rule is working.
The "Allow 127.0.0.1:xyz" message you're getting is not from ABE, but from NoScript's JavaScript permissions system.
If the uploader keeps complaining, try to add 127.0.0.1:0 to NoScript Options|Whitelist as well.

I get to EDIT and am stopped because windows does not know what program created the thing I am attempting to EDIT.
As soon as I hit EDIT, I receive this pop up.
WINDOWS CANNOT OPEN THIS FILE
SYSTEM.abe

How do I get around this?

Q: ABE seems to block Facebook's Photo Uploader Plugin. What can I do?
A: Open NoScript Options|Advanced|ABE, select the SYSTEM ruleset, click "Edit" and insert the following rule at the beginning of the file:

Select the program from a list and choose Notepad, it will work.
