Pages not fully loading

[Guest]

This was just posted on the mozilla forum. It appears that noscript is blocking some pages from completely loading when all scripts are off. To test it you need to use two versions. In 24ESR you'll see a link on the bottom of the page to view complete version history but In the latest nightlies that link won't load and there's just a spinning throbber. When noscript is disabled and javascript turned off in about:config the page loads properly.

That link above didn't post right. You need to go any mozilla addon page to see that link on the bottom:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... src=search

You'll need to put the link in [url] tags.

Any mozilla addon page has the problem.

Not sure I'm following?

On nightly, if you do not allow mozilla.org, I see the link, "See complete version history".

If I Allow mozilla.org, & do not allow mozilla.net, then I get the spinner.

If I Allow mozilla.org & mozilla.net, then I get working dropdowns, where I can select "Version Information" & from there, "See complete version history".

IOW the page reacts differently if JavaScript is enabled or not.
It is "broken" (if you will) if not "enough" JavaScript is Allowed (ie, only mozilla.og & not mozilla.net).

Hi, thanks for the response. Javascript has never been needed to view that link. If you test it in ESR24 with all scripts off the link is there and always has been until the recent nightly. But if noscript is disabled and "javascript.enabled" ig is set to false in about:config the link is there. Only when noscript is enabled (and "javascript.enabled" on true) is there a throbber.

Thanks barbaz for the link. Glad to see Giorgio is on top of it.

His recent development build did fix the problem with pages loading but unfortunately it nuked the addon page, that won't load at all. I know it's noscript because the old build was restored then after disabling noscript the newer build was put back and everything was good again. Only when re-enabling noscript with the newer build did I lose the addon page.
