Cooliris "Known Issues" Recommends Disabling NoScript!

Post by Guest »

I'm running Firefox 10.0.1 with NoScript 2.3rc2 under XP Pro SP 3.

Recently, Cooliris came out with an update to run with this version of FX. The problem is that it won't find Google or Flickr images in response to a search.

They posted a list of known issues on Feb. 13, 2012 and it acknowledges a problem when used with Nocript (the sixth bullet item). Their recommendation is to disable Noscript. Here's the link to that posting: http://www.coolpreviews.com/firefox/issues_cp_ff.php

They would be wrong. The true problem is they don't understand how NS really works and have not done their due diligence to find out the perceived conflict and how to solve it, so suggesting to disable a security addon so something as frivolous as their tool can function, should give you great pause. IIRC, they use flash to do their thing and yes if the content page where they load this flash tool to do their "fancy" previews is not allowed, it will not function but that's a long way from disabling the addon when you can simply just allow the damn thing if you must.
