NoScript 2.6.8.11 (rc10 & release) breaks start page

Post by Digital Alchemist »

Hi guys; I'm on Aurora 28.0a2 only and use NoScript release candidates as suggested. Yesterday the following showed up:

STR:
  • Install NoScript 2.6.8.11rc10 or 2.6.8.11 release
  • Open default start page (about:home)
  • Attempt a search in start page's search box
Actual result:
  • No search engine is selected in start page's search box
  • Changing the search engine in the search bar is not reflected in start page's search box
  • No search is performed by start page's search box but the search bar remains fully functional
Expected result:
  • Start page's search box should show the search engine selected in the search bar and both should perform the same search
As stated, this behavior began in NoScript 2.6.8.11rc10 and the latest 2.6.8.11 release exhibits it as well; NoScript 2.6.8.11rc9 does not show this. This was tested with Aurora 28.0a2, both with my standard profile (with 17 other extensions) and with a clean profile (with one other extension, common with my standard profile, installed by default by Symantec Endpoint Protection antivirus client).

Thanks for this excellent software (I'm a FlashGot user as well), and have an excellent 2014! :D

Confirmed.

> this.getSite is not a function

And again, if you Allow Scripts Globally, then it works.

(Be nice to figure out how this "Browser Console" worked?)

That's right, I also could restore functionality with Allow Scripts Globally (dangerous).

Also right, I should have tried using the Browser Console (Aurora button -> Web Developer -> Brower Console Ctrl+Shift+J). Odd: after reinstalling rc10, invoking Browser Console on this page showed the this.GetSite issue once (line 6002 in noscriptservice.js or something) but now I cannot show it again while the problem persists.
