NoScript kills Java plugins on Firefox 4.0 b5

Post by jarome »

Activating NoScript (even with allow Scripts globally) kills Java applets on Firefox 4.5 beta 5 on OS X 10.6.4. Going to a page such as http://whisper.cs.utk.edu:8234/ just displays a coffee cup instead of the applet.
There are no messages in the Java console either. I tried it on several Macs.

Please fix this or tell me how to set NoScript to allow Java to work.

NoScript is the reason I use Firefox, so this is an important issue to me.

Thanks,
Jim

Just a data point, since I don't have a Mac, but the app works for me on Windows XP.

Haven't encountered the Java plugin issue, but on an equivalent system NoScript is crashing the flash plugin when I temporarily allow certain objects.
