[Resolved] NoScript not working on some sites

[bear]

I try going to www.hp.com site in Firefox and the main image does not display and the three top main menus do not roll down. If I disable NoScript, then everything appears and works as normal. If I enable NoScript and "allow scripts globally" it still does not work. What else can I turn off, whitelist or otherwise change in NoScript such that this site works with it?

Running v2.5

Thanks for reporting.

The problem is their secondary web server which is misconfigured, serving JavaScript files with the wrong content type (should be text/javascrpt or application/x-javascript):

[NoScript] Blocking cross-site Javascript served from http: //welcome.hp-ww.com/country/us/en/ ... images_yes with wrong type info application/octet-stream and included by http://www.hp.com/

Work around: add ".hp-ww.com" to your noscript.inclusionTypeChecking.exceptions about:config preference, which should become

Code: Select all

https://scache.vzw.com/ http://cache.vzw.com .sony-europe.com .amazonaws.com lesscss.googlecode.com/files/ .hp-ww.com

(it will be made the default in next release).

This might sound stupid. But I am not able to see the error console in Tools>> . Also in about config it is devtools.errorconsole.enabled;true

They moved it into the "Web Developer" submenu long ago.
You can still use CTRL+SHIFT+J, though.

The workaround works perfectly for me. Thanks very much!!!

Earlier thread for reference, Hewlett-Packard web site broken with NoScript.

I wrote to them back in June. Explained to them what they were doing wrong. And you can see how they responded - other then emailing back to me.
