Portable Firefox and No Script keeps erasing my Whitelist

[Tom T.]

Hi Everyone,

I've been following your discussion here and I wanted to share with you further evidence that the issue points to Firefox on IronKey.

I'm using an IronKey D200 (software version 2.5.1.0, firmware version 2.0.13), on it is Firefox (version 11.0). I recently installed an extention called FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension, version 7.0.3.2) - the tool essentially is used to backup and restore extentions, themes, and other settings. In FEBE, I set the backup destination directory with a name that contained a space. On the initial run after FEBE setup, the backup worked properly - but after closing and later on starting FF, within FEBE the space had disappeared from directory name, and consequently the backup failed because the directory name (without the space) could not be found.

I repeated the test with identical results on both Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, and Windows XP Professional SP3. On normal installations of Firefox (on both OS), FEBE settings that contained a space (as well as the NoScript Whitelist) were not altered.

I hope this helps!

Regards,
Bryan

Bryan, I think this pretty much confirms that it's not a NoScript issue, nor even a Firefox issue, but rather something in IronKey that is causing these collapses of spaces. Since Neil hasn't been back yet, if you can get an answer from IronKey and post it here, that may help others who encounter the same issue.

Thanks for the report.
