New York Times: Back one Page Fails with NoScript

Post by PeterR »

Beginning ~10 days ago, Back One Page navigation fails in Firefox, but only when NoScript is installed. With NoScript, the NYT makes duplicate history entries, thus defeating back one page. Is the NYT doing this deliberately to discourage NoScript use (there is no other site with this problem)? Aggravating at the least, disturbing if deliberate. NoScript development team: what's up?

Mentioned before, NYTimes.com doesn't work with No-Script.

No answer yet.

Answer is: it seems to be a site bug triggered by the NoScript presence and happening on Firefox < 3.5 only.
Therefore low priority, since there are much more urgent issues for 1.9.5.8 release.
Can you upgrade to Fx 3.5 in the meanwhile?
