Google Toolbar WordTranslate still not working

Post by honky »

The error decscribed in http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopi ... ate#p19351 still appears and annoys me everytime I wanna know the meaning of unknown words.

Meanwhile my environment:
OS: XP SP3 (the same on Vista Ult. x86 + Win7 Ult x64)
FF: 3.6.12
Google Toolbar: 7.1.20101113Wb1
NoScript: 2.0.7

Still deactivtion of NoScript is solving the issue - but this is no option at all. Also to give permission for all sites and restarting firefox.

Today I've tried the suggestion made by Alan in the old thread:
- I've creatied a new windows user with admin rights
- active extensions are only NoScript and Google Toolbar; all plug-ins like Flash Player deactivated
- all google cookies deleted twice
but no success at all :(

Please provide me any questions or hints, I'm going to try everything to get this issue solved finally.

(P.S. I've tried it with Firefox 4 Beta 7 - same behaviour)

NoScript disabled: it works. :)
NoScript enabled: it fails. :x

So it's a NoScript bug, full stop. Stop wasting your time tweaking this, deleting that and whatnot.

Downgrading to Google TB 7.0.2009.1216b used to "solve" the problem, but it's no longer compatible with FF 4.0

You need WordTranslate (or embedded youtube videos, btw)? Disable NoScript then restart FireFox, when finito, enable NS then restart FF again. Hope the informaction team will circumvent this in a new version, but it's been 5 months :geek: :ugeek: (You too busy?)

No it's not.
Google Toolbar is known not to work properly unless you allow file:// (it shouldn't be actually needed by any extension, so it's a GT shortcoming), and an entry for it should be shown in the "Recently blocked sites" shortly after the Google Toolbar has been loaded (on startup).
Please try to allow it, and come back if it doesn't work.

Those are known Firefox/Plugin bugs.

Well, I did the file:// trick, and it works, as it did with NoScript disabled (something I really hate to do).

It's only, I wonder if there could be a more "elegant" solution; we computing ignoramuses can only hope and wait for magicians to fix it for us.

I understand that from now on, I need to be really careful about downloaded .htm files, now allowed to do as they please.

Now, the important part is, "it works", so thanks and bw.
