[RESOLVED] NoScript Blocks Gmail

Post by BR »

Hello there,
Since a few days ago, I noticed that NoScript started to block Gmail page from loading in standard view. The page gets stuck when the progress bar reaches about 8/10th of its length. Tried various settings, did a NoScript reset, and finally allowed scripts globally - all to no avail. Disabling NoScript restores Gmail functionality. Another oddity is in the Google image search. With NoScript, nothing happens when you search Google images and then click on one of the images that were found, meaning that the page doesn't open this image below, nor does it show a link to a site where it came from with a set of related images - i.e. clicking on a found image doesn't do anything. Can you suggest a solution pls? Thanks

I don't think it's NoScript issue because it works for me and I didn't do anything special to make it work.
See if Standard Diagnostic (leaving NoScript enabled) helps you isolate and correct the cause.
Please let us know the results, thanks.

I had isolated NoScript exactly as described in the diagnostic link that you provided. Further to my original post I can add that I have the same issue with NoScript on my laptop. I believe the whole thing came about after recent Windows updates. I have Win 7 on the desktop and Win 8 on the laptop, both with the same problem

I did some additional testing and here's what I found. When I disable all addons leaving only NoScript enabled Google mail page loads properly just once, on the first restart that occurs after I disable all other addons. Google mail doesn't open on any subsequent restarts when only NoScript is enabled.

Is it still broken like that in a clean profile with only NoScript installed (leaving all defaults)?

I haven't cleaned my Firefox profile but I can report that after a recent Firefox update everything has gotten back to normal, i.e. I can now load Google mail in standard view with NoScript enabled. I'm currently at Firefox version 35.01. Anyway, thanks for your time and recommendations.
