Twitter & Facebook short links completely broken by NoScript

Post by rickmastfan67 »

Windows 7 x64
Firefox 18 Beta 2
NoScript 2.6.3rc4 (but this also happens with 2.6.2)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the following Twitter tweet that has a link to an outside site: https://twitter.com/PaniniAmerica/statu ... 1884121089
2. Click on the link in the message (it's the fb.me link which is translated into a t.co link before you can get to Facebook)

What happens:
Nothing. When you click on the link, a blank window shows up with the t.co link in the address bar.
Also, if I copy and paste the Facebook link text into the Firefox's address bar, it doesn't load as well.

Work around:
Completely disable NoScript. Not even allowing scripts Globally will allow those links to work.

Works for me. Is your profile corrupted?

Hmmm, it might be at least somewhat corrupted. :( Still doesn't explain why disabling NoScript complete will let it work. Might just have to completely uninstall NoScript and reinstall it to see if that helps.
