NoScript prevents website loading from completing

Post by coolzone »

So I'm loading a website that has several scripts running.

At first it has it's own stupid Javascript menu system and I allow that..

Then it has Google Analytics and I don't want to allow that so the website stops at that point and can't complete the loading unless I allow the Google Analytics script.

Why does't NoScript do that? Disabling Javascript doesn't prevent a website from loading when it has Google Analytics Javascript code installed.

By default, NoScript runs a Surrogate Script for google-analytics, which returns no private data to Google, but makes the page happy.
So just leave G-A in the default-deny zone, or mark it Untrusted if you like, and this shouldn't happen.

If you still have a problem, please post the URL and the exact steps to reproduce the issue.

Edit: Using a browser based on the very obsolete Firefox 3.5 branch is bound to cause problems right there. Please upgrade to a currently-supported version.

Also please note that Giorgio Maone tells us that while NoScript "might" run on various Gecko-based forks, support is assured only for Firefox and Seamonkey.
So it might be an IceWeasel problem as well.

I have installed the latest Firefox and have tried to create an Yahoo mail, but the website can't continue even though Yahoo.com is allowed in NoScript. After filling out the credentials and submitting the result is a white page of death.

It works just fine for me.
Maybe a cookie issue. Does your problem actually goes away if you disable NoScript?

I have been hitting some of these issues here and there on a few news sites as well, and checked in a clean profile (only NS) with no cookies or anything and still having some rendering issues and page loads. Not sure if an Fx bug or NS, but I am running the latest and am encountering some minor issues, so might be worth looking into it. Just saying. I sent the material I felt was relevant to you in the email, hopefully we can find out what is the issue or at least rule out NS for sure. Thanks for looking into it Giorgio.

You must also allow yimg.com, per the Default Whitelist FAQ, or at least, mail.yimg.com.

See the recently-updated section of NoScript Quick Start Guide for the increasing use of secondary servers to store images and other content, typically with"img", "static", or "cdn" in their script names.
