Google news freezes on Nightly

[firebo14]

About weeks ago, it worked ok.

Right now, firefox will freeze and lag if i enable scripts of google.com, if i disable, works fine. Hope u guys fix this.

Im using:
Firefox Nightly 8.0a1 (2011-08-02)

Noscript 2.1.2.5rc1

I cannot reproduce with latest development build, can you?
Does it happen also if you disable every extension except NoScript?

Ok, nevermind, it now works ok. I update Nightly today to:

8.0a1 (2011-08-03)

HAppens to me, firefox 8.0a1 2011-8-05
freezes news with no response.
only happens with noscript enabled.

I don't agree with "RESOLVED,INVALID"

Firefox Nightly 8.0a1 (2011-08-05) and NoScript 2.1.2.6rc4.
AdBlockPlus and Ubuntu extensions disabled.
Fresh browser, go to news.google.com and mouse pointer moves, but firefox otherwise unresponsive to all clicks, scroll wheel, elevator bar, cursor doesn't change when hovering over links. Firefox menus all dead. Only thing that works is the "close" button.
Disable noscript and then news.google.com operates. Lots of pop-up previews when you hover, which seems to be what it is that is new at google news.

OK, I could reproduce by selecting "U.S." as the news source (couldn't with my default, Italy), so I suppose it's triggered by this new preview feature which is offered in some regions only, it seems.

Investigating...

A tentative work-around is provided by latest development build 2.1.2.6rc6
