Meebo has a pop-out Window that seems to have stopped working in recent versions of NoScript.
Disabling the NoScript add-on seems to allow the pop-out window to work properly.
Both meebo.com and meebocdn.net are in my NoScript whitelist.
The URL of the pop-out window becomes http://www.meebo.com/popup.html#
When the pop-up opens properly, AdBlock says all identifiable items are from s.meebocdn.net (which would seem to be allowed by whitelist); and I can't identify anything more that would be problematic.

Re: Meebo pop-out window blocked (while in whitelist)
Could you get latest development build and check whether the problem persist?
If it does, is it go away if you set the noscript.surrogate.enabled about:config preference to false?

Re: Meebo pop-out window blocked (while in whitelist)
Using what you gave me, here's my step list:
Installed development release "2.0.3rc2" from http://noscript.net/getit#devel
No change to the problem: clicking the pop-out button causes the pop-up to flash and disappear; all future pop-out button clicks have no effect.
Going to about:config and finding "noscript.surrogate.enabled" was easy enough, double-clicking set it to false...
...couldn't find a way to commit the change so I closed the tab and restarted FireFox - "noscript.surrogate.enabled" was then "true" on restart.
If there's a special save command for the about:config page, I must not know about it - but I assumed the value was getting reset or read from somewhere else on load.
Searched around a bit, found %UserProfile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\218p8kjm.default\extensions\{73a6fe31-595d-460b-a920-fcc0f8843232}\defaults\preferences\noscript.js with a "noscript.surrogate.enabled" entry... I set that to "false" and saved the file while FireFox was shut down.
Next time FireFox opened, I verified about:config showed "noscript.surrogate.enabled"="false" and then went to meebo.
The pop-outs now work properly again.
My notes:
The change of "noscript.surrogate.enabled" to "false" from about:config was not saved on program exit.
The surrogate function could/should be the issue (last change before success). Anything you can tell me about it?
I hope I've been a helpful user
Many thanks for your help, Mr. Maone!
