re-installing No Script

Annie Oakley · Post by **Annie Oakley** » Thu Dec 11, 2014 5:39 pm

I reset Firefox and re-installed No Script. I didn't see any place on the page to insert my serial number -- do I not need it?
Thanks

The one I got when I bought No Script and dug out before reinstalling No Script. But No Script is working fine, so I conclude that I didn't need it. I appreciate being able to reinstall without hassle.

In the meantime, I can't get Java Script to work. Is No Script blocking it? It is not in the little dropdown menu.

Again, thanks.

Erm.. NoScript is free software, it's not for sale...

Can you be more specific please (maybe give an example)?

I upgraded to the paid version -- three computers for 1 year,

$29.00.

I have been tinkering all day. I learned that Java and Java Script are not identical and got Java Script to work most of the time. I don't know which part of the tinkering succeeded.

I need to watch some streaming video of some meetings. I needed Java Script in order to install Adobe Flash in order to play the video. The site is no longer asking for Java Script, but continues to ask me to install Adobe Flash. I used the convenient link they provided to install Adobe Flash and I can open my control panel and see 4 (four!!) Adobe Flash programs that were downloaded today -- but the site continues to ask me to install Adobe Flash.

Yes, I click "temporarily allow all this site" in No Script. I have not yet tried "allow all scripts globally" and have also not yet disabled No Script. I will try that tomorrow, and tonight I will have nightmares about a crowd of vicious malware just waiting for a gap in my No Script protection.

The site I am talking about is accessfayetteville.org -- for some reason I have to type "accessfayetteville" in to my search engine to get there. At the top of the page there is a huge, red link to the Fayetteville Alert System, and directly to the right of that is a small, gray link to The Government Channel. and that goes to the video and the request to download Adobe Flash.

Your help will be greatly appreciated. And if you can't help, thanks for listening.

> accessfayetteville.org

Works if you actually add the www. to it, so www.accessfayetteville.org.

> Flash

What does Tools | Addons Manager -> Plugins show?
If Flash is not shown, then you have not installed it (the version required for a Mozilla browser, which is different from the version used by IE).

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
(Be sure to uncheck any kind of crap they try to bundle with it.)

> serial number

Tell us more. Just where did you get "NoScript" from?

No such version of NoScript, there's only the release version and dev build and both are free. That's it.
Not sure what you got there.
(Oh, maybe you're confusing NoScript with the Uniblue registry cleaner? viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20318
That is not related to NoScript or even written by Giorgio, it's just a product Giorgio endorses.)

Whatever you do, first uninstall all of those, and get the latest version from the official site (you need to go there in Firefox).

Well, on their homepage http://www.accessfayetteville.org/, (Temp-)Allowing *only* the following got it working AFAICT

Code: Select all

+accessfayetteville.org
+googleapis.com
+google.com

(didn't check if that's a minimal set)

Clicking the "The Government Channel" button after that, all I needed to add to the Allowed list was

Code: Select all

+accessfayetteville.granicus.com

and that page (the pop up) and the video there worked fine after a few seconds.

If that does not help you could you please provide even more details exactly what goes wrong?

@ barbaz and therube

Thanks, I will get to all this today. Or maybe tonight -- I still have to do everything I didn't do yesterday while I was tinkering with the computer.

You are right, barbaz, I didn't upgrade No Script, I bought

@ therube

Regardless of whatever else happens, your image has made my day. It is really great, both the concept and the execution. Thanks.

Here's what happened. I downloaded NoScript and liked it so much, I thought anything Giorgio recommended might be good, too. So I looked at Uniblue, liked it, and bought it. Then I made notes about what I had done and the notes got garbled (made the notes in a Microsoft Word table that I had copied into a Rich Text document). When I looked at them I thought the Unicode serial number belonged to NoScript and I had paid $29.00 to upgrade NoScript. Sorry, it was a stupid mistake.

And why can't I drag and drop that nice red smiley face here? When I try it changes to code.

AccessFayetteville is working fine. It all fell into place when I figured out that the Adobe Flash they required was actually called Shockwave Flash and enabled it.

If you stumble around in the dark long enough, and if good people occasionally nudge you in the right direction, you eventually find a door. Thank you.

You don't drag-and-drop, you allow JS on this site and click the smiley
