No script blocking extensions on allowed sites.

Post by Dorus »

Now, i'm going to start by writing a half useless bug report, at least until i can remember the second half of the problem.

I have a gaming site, basicly a bewser based text game where you click around to do stuff. On top of this game, i got a firefox extension that upgrade the interface of the game. (Display data from one page on another, loading it dynamicly). Somehow no-script manages to block the data from the second page. Weird part is it only happens on this pc, it works just fine on another pc. (This is also the reason why i sat on this bug for a few months, can't reproduce it reliable). Weird thing is that on this pc, it happens even in a fresh profile. I already tried to switch around most of no-script settings, no help. The domain for the gaming site is simply allowed.


Now there was a little more to my problem, but i can't remember the details. I can share the sites and extension i'm working with, problem is i'm not even sure if others will see the same problem. Also, the gaming site wont like people register and not play, but i guess you can always start a new account if you get removed after a day :P

Game is utopia: http://utopia-game.com/ , extension utools: http://www.k3ltic.com/utools/ but as said, i guess i should do some additional local fiddling to figure out where this problem comes from.

This pc does have more mysterious problems, most of them got fixed when i replaced the broken PSU it shipped with, but i still got the feeling the early and offten crashes early on left the system in a somewhat broken state.

Anyone any idea what i could do next?

When it fails, any related messages in the Browser Console? (Ctrl-Shift-J)
If not, does it work if you Allow Scripts Globally?

Also, something else you could try if both machines are running the same version of Firefox would be completely closing Firefox on both machines, then copying the entire Firefox profile from the machine where it works onto the machine where it fails (backup the existing profile there first).

Browser console: The 'healthy' pc and this one show exactly the same messages in error console (well, the ms time on some requests differs).

Allow scripts globally: No effect

(removing no-script does fix it).

Moving my profile from broken comp to working comp: broken.
Moving my profile from working comp to broken comp: working!
Fresh profile on broken comp: working :S (i could swear this was broken before).


I'll continue to look into this, might be stuff breaks when i import my profile, going to try some stuff now.

Glad you at least have a work-around now :)
If the "broken" profile is that important to you, try Standard Diagnostic leaving NoScript enabled the whole time. Please let us know your findings.

Ah sorry for the late reply, but i've solver my issue by importing my other profile to this pc. Still not sure what caused the problems initially, but at least it's fixed.
