some clickable elements breaking w/ FF 16.0.1 + 2.5.8

Post by moe »

Hi, longtime user, thanks for your fine product. This is the first time in 6 years I've encountered an issue which I could not resolve by adjusting settings. This issue is since upgrading to Firefox 16.0.1. Tested with v 2.5.8 and v 2.5.9rc2 with no change.

NoScript is breaking functionality of certain clickable elements on certain pages. I've gone through several troubleshooting steps and am sure it's been isolated to NoScript. When I launch with all extensions disabled, no issue. As soon as I enable NoScript the issue begins with no other extensions enabled. I've tried resetting to stock NoScript setting (wiping my whitelist, reallowing the "bn" domains, any any other settings). This can be duplicated on Barnes and Noble website on any book page, there are marketplace links in the middle which expand content - new, used, all. NoScript is breaking these links. Here's a random page to recreate...

Thanks for any help you can provide.

For that feature to work you need at least the following script sources to be allowed:

barnesandnoble.com
imagesbn.com
google.com
coremetrics.com
scorecardresearch.com

Thank you for reply, but still no luck. I do have those sites whitelisted. The issue persists when set to Allow Scripts Globally too...

Does it happen on a clean profile with a fresh NoScript installation (and the permissions above)?

I have come to the same conclusion, the profile must have some issues. I have this working on another PC/profile with no issues. Thanks for your help!
