NoScript conflicts with Upromise

Post by pgw78 »

I'm a member of a program called Upromise. Basically, when you shop online at certain websites, they donate a small percentage of your purchase to a designated child's college fund. (In my case, my nieces and nephews.)

Normally, to make this work, you have to start at the Upromise.com website and click through from there to the store website. This ensures that the store website is notified of your Upromise account information. You see a loading page with the Upromise logo, and then it continues on to the store website.

To make things easier, though, there's a browser addon called Turbosaver. It's a toolbar which detects when you're visiting one of the participating sites and basically redirects you through the Upromise website.

The problem I'm having is that NoScript seems to conflict with both methods. With NoScript enabled, I often get stuck on the loading page. I see the logo and the notification that I'll be redirected to the store's website, but it doesn't happen. Reloading the page or trying again doesn't work. With TurboSaver enabled, basically the same thing happens. NoScript also seems to interfere with Upromise's internal site search.

I'm not sure what's wrong. I've enabled all scripts on the Upromise homepage and whatever I see on the redirect page. Is there a way there could be a hidden script that NoScript is blocking without my seeing it happen? Any idea on how to fix it?

Thanks.

The first place to look is the Error Console (Ctrl + Shift + J or 'Tools - Web Developer - Error Console'). Ignore warnings - they're usually not related - but look for NoScript-related Info or Error messages.

Most likely it's either a cross-site scripting false positive, or something else like wrong content type being served.

Also, don't forget to check the NoScript submenus ('Recently Blocked Sites', 'Untrusted', 'Blocked Objects', etc).

Thanks for the help. :)

Nothing under Recently Blocked sites.

Ctrl-Shift-J gives me:

Warning: Use of Mutation Events is deprecated. Use MutationObserver instead.

XSS filtering is off. And, actually, the Upromise website seems to be working okay now when TurboSaver is disabled. I just can't get TurboSaver to work.
