iGoogle hangs with NoScript enabled

[bhelmlv]

When I go to my iGoogle home page with NoScript enabled Firefox hangs with connecting showing in the tab. It will set there for different amounts of time and then start working again. I have tried the disable everything works and enable hang scenario several times. It started with Firefox 11. The only two urls I have forbidden are Googsyndicatrion and analytics. I will try forbidding them now.

Could you please see if anything in these threads is helpful?

Here is one that was solved by creating a clean profile, indicating profile corruption -- not as uncommon as one would think. http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopi ... 41&p=34575

Let us know, thanks.

By the way, google-analytics is not required, because by default, NoScript runs a Surrogate Script that makes pages happy while protecting your privacy.

Google-syndication is their advertising script. There is a surrogate for that, too. Please see SOME SITES YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO ALLOW for more information. The part about script surrogates is toward the bottom, with a link to a sticky that shows which script sources will run surrogates by default.

I have tried everything you suggested. It now sometimes hangs and sometimes immediately blows up Firefox and sometimes works just fine. I have been sending the reports to Mozilla but have heard nothing from them. This is frustrating but having been a software developer at one time in my life I know it can be very difficult to find the cause. If you want me to try something else I will.

Confirming, you created a clean profile, installed *only* NoScript, leaving all default settings, and the issue still occurs?

If so, then could you please reproduce the symptom on a freshly-opened browser, open Firefox Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J), click "Errors", and copy any red Error messages and paste them here? Also please click "Messages", and post here any messages relating to NoScript, including ABE or XSS, thanks.

Yes, it can be very difficult to troubleshoot over the Web, but we'll get there.
