pages are blank on foxnews' tech, science, entertainment

[guest028]

Hi!

Foxnews site has always worked fine, until a week ago or so when going to the tech, entertainment, or science page results in blank pages. The main page of foxnews and other sub categories work fine.

Noscript shows there are 33 scripts on those pages, while all other pages on foxnews show 9 scripts. Not sure if that is helpful.

I have not allowed foxnews on noscript to see if javascript is the problem and possibly required for those 3 pages now, as am concerned about possible malware. I use request policy and just fncstatic.com is allowed. Nothing else is allowed there or in noscript for foxnews.

I checked to see if others were having the same problem in google, but couldn't find anything.

I was wondering if others get the same results. Perhaps this started when firefox was updated to version 21 as that was about a week ago as well.

Thanks for your help!

They come up blank for me too unless I allow foxnews.com.

Thank you therube for testing those pages to see if they needed javascript. I sure appreciate that you did that! I guess I won't be able to view those pages anymore. Such is life.

You can use something like the JSView addon to see what scripts are actually trying to run, and temporarily allow the site if they don't look malicious.

Bear in mind that allowing foxnews.com will not automatically allow other domains, so you're safe from any scripts that JSView can't see.
