NoScript blocks Google Search button [SOLVED ITSELF]

[ffhu]

My config:


Windows XP Home Edition

Firefox 3.6.13.

NoScript 2.0.9.7.

Since last NoScript auto-update
I can't search with google. --> http://www.google.hu/

When I hit the Google Search button, nothing happens.
(but I'm Feeling Lucky button works.)

If I disable NoScript, everything is fine with the google site.

No problem on my end. Works with either google.hu enabled or disabled.

NoScript --> Allow Scripts Globally (dangerous)

Google Kereses (Google Search) button still do not work on

Code: Select all

http://www.google.hu/

I search for example for "car" on Google.hu
I press Google Kereses button
the url changes from

Code: Select all

http://www.google.hu/

to

Code: Select all

http://www.google.hu/#hl=hu&source=hp&biw=1016&bih=556&q=car&btnG=Google+keres%C3%A9s&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&fp=cb8693ca6a420f9f

BUT nothing happens. Empty page.



Very strange, this link works but previous one does not.

Code: Select all

http://www.google.hu/search?hl=hu&source=hp&biw=1016&bih=556&q=car&btnG=Google+keres%C3%A9s&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=

If I search using firefox search bar, then it is OK.




If I search for images on

Code: Select all

http://www.google.hu/imghp?hl=hu&tab=wi

the url changes to

Code: Select all

http://www.google.hu/images?hl=hu&source=imghp&biw=1016&bih=556&q=car&btnG=K%C3%A9pek+keres%C3%A9se&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=

and it works fine.

I have tested it also on Windows 7.
Firefox browser with similar addons
but not all I have on Firefox on WinXP.

The Google.hu Search button works well.

Please try Standard Diagnostic.

I booted my PC from another HDD:
WinXP Professional,
and Firefox.
Google Search button worked.

I went back to my original HDD and booted PC from there,
and now Google Search button is working again.

Very strange.


As I see it, this is not a new issue:

[FireFox] "Google search" button no response problem

Code: Select all

Enter key doesn't submit google main search form in Firefox 2

Code: Select all

The good thing that everything is back to normal.
I don't know how that has happened.

Thanks for your support.

No Google search results with NoScript activated
===========================================

- Google home page
- enter test
- click the search button
- the URL changes, but the Google homepage stays the same
- restart Firefox (saved tabs with TabMix Plus)
- the Google-search-URL shows a blank grey screen
- disable NoScript: the problem stays the same
- deactivate NoScript: everything works fine

Seems to me like a NoScript problem.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13

[Giorgio Maone]

- disable NoScript: the problem stays the same
- deactivate NoScript: everything works fine

Difference between "disable" and "deactivate"?
Did you try disabling (or deactivating), either way from Tools|Add-ons all your add-ons except NoScript?

[egg]

I can confirm the strange behaviour of NoScript:
- Go to Google homepage
- type whatever (or test, or ...)
- Google changes automatically to the "search" perspective (with the search field moving up)
- but no results show up
- Press return
- the URL changes, but still no search results

Only "deactivate" NoScript helps to use Google, only to "disable" NoScript is not enough. The problem did not solve itself the last n (n > 10) versions of NoScript (a version number before 2) nor since FF version 3.5 (problably even 3.0).

To get the problem started is not deterministic to reproduce to me. After NoScript-Updates I retry to use NoScript. Sometimes Google works, sometimes it doesn't. But once Google/NoScript quit working together the problem persists and is always reproducible. I use NoScript on several other computers, too. Same FF-Version with the same Plugins (NoScript, TabMix Plus, Adblock Plus). And everything works fine. The only difference is Windows 7 to Windows XP (which should make no difference).

BTW: These suggestions did NOT help:
- Deactivate Forbid @font-face http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=267827
- Allow file://. http://sartoo.de/articles/firefox--nosc ... fonts.html

[egg]

Oups, FF-5 does not seem to have the "disable" feature (any more). Still only deactivate NoScript helps.

More bug diagnostics:
- Deactivate NoScript
- Restart Firefox
- Seach Google (works fine), leave the search tab open
- Activate NoScript
- Close and restart FF (using TabMix Plus to open the same tabs)
- The automatical reopened Google search works fine (search results show up automatically while you type)
- Open a new tab, open a Google search page, e.g. http://www.google.de (yes, I'm German ;o)
- The search shows no results (stays blank/white)
- All following Google searches do not work, too.

When I reopen FF with an open Google-search-URLs and NoScript activated (before and after) the page is reopened completely blank (but white).

[Giorgio Maone]

Is google.de allowed?

[egg]

Yep, google is allowed. NoScript shows that nothing is blocked. The options are:
google.de verbieten (forbid google.de; BTW: the same problem and configuration on google.com)
gstatic.com verbieten (forbid gstatic.com)

I uninstalled NoScript and reinstalled it. The configuration and the problem where still there afterwards.

[egg]

- I opened the Add-ons-Manager (Extras -> Add-ons) and the NoScript configuration (Erweiterungen -> Einstellungen)
- I did an export of my whitelist (Positivliste exportieren).
- Resetted the configuration (Einstellungen zurücksetzen).
- google worked fine again (without script, no automatic search results, but with results after pressing return).
- I reimported the whitelist and google is still working fine (with automatic search results).

I seems to me that this was a problem of a very old NoScript configuration.

- I opened the Add-ons-Manager (Extras -> Add-ons) and the NoScript configuration (Erweiterungen -> Einstellungen)
- I did an export of my whitelist (Positivliste exportieren).

- I reimported the whitelist and google is still working fine (with automatic search results).

I seems to me that this was a problem of a very old NoScript configuration.

The search-as-you-type feature was not working on the Google Search Page and it was definitely related to NoScript because it worked fine when NoScript was disabled. With this simple suggestion, everything works fine now!
NoScript is enabled, my whitelist has been re-imported and Google Search page works fine!
Thank you!
