Must turn off NoScript to view Wall Street Journal articles

Post by sas »

A friend sends me links to articles on Online.WSJ.com (Wall Street Journal's website). NoScript allows all of the links around the borders of the article in question but completely blocks the text of every article. It tells me there are "cross-scripting" suspicions to WSJ.net (a trusted site). I have tried to "whitelist" both the .net and the .com addresses without luck. I have tried to "allow all" on each of the pages but no luck. And I have tried entering the URLs in the "allow XSS" dialog box, no luck there as well.

The biggest problem is that I am not a "tekkie" and really don't understand all of this or how to get it to do what I need to have done. Have things reached the point where the only option is to delete/disable NoScript entirely?

PS: I am running XPhome on a Celeron-based HP desktop with the latest version of Firefox (this has been going on for, what, the last 2-3 versions of FF that have been released).

TIA for any help.

True religion, which dares to acknowledge death and challenge the way we live, is an attempt to wake up.

Sure. Appreciate your help. Here is a very typical link from my friend (it is the one that caused me to post this query); the line wraps here but it is all one URL:

I tried visiting that link in a different browser (without NoScript), and was invited to subscribe/sign in. Looks like that article is restricted to paying customers?
