FF41: No search possible for apps at https://play.google.com

[tramp20]

Hi,
on my FireFox v41 I cannot longer search for an app at https://play.google.com/store/apps.

I tried all settings in the options menu of NoScript 2.6.9.36.
Only disabling NS does help.

Hi,
I was just about to report the same.

App search and "write review" button are not working and nothing is logged to the console as far as I can see.

Thanks
Sergio

Are you blocking google-analytics.com ?

When I click 'Write a Review', I'm prompted to sign in.

No, I do not block Google-Analytics.
Even I allow all scripts it does not work, I have to disable NoScripts in the addon-menu.

And your link does not work too.

Getting the same thing as OP. Whenever I try to search something nothing happens. Even trying the Buy or Wishlist button is not working.
Only when disabling NoScript does the site work as intended.

Fx 41.x / Gecko 41.x seeming more buggy to me...... is the issue present if you use Firefox 38 ESR?

Yes, I was blocking Analytics and indeed, after allowing it in NoScript, the features of the page have been re-enabled.

Thanks!
Ciao

You should *never* need to Allow G-A to get a site to work... seems that the G-A surrogate needs updating. Since this requires login, I can't investigate it myself. Please script-block G-A, reproduce the problem, and check the Web Console (Ctrl-Shift-K) and post here all the JS errors and console log/error/warn output there. Thanks.

Since this requires login

You don't need one.

Click the 'Write a Review' button.

It outlines when you hover it.
Kind of a blue-ish frame when you click it.
But it otherwise does nothing.

Click the 'Write a Review' button.

Yes, its also present with Firefox 38 ESR.

Here are the console errors (G-A is script blocked):

I have suffered from this problem too, and have found that there are two ways to enable search on play.google.com:

1. disable NoScript (allowing all the listed Google domains does not help)

2. log out of my Google account - yes, it works OK if you don't login!?

I have also noticed that once search has failed the page has lost the info on my device and reports: "You don't have any devices". Logging out and then in again fixes this - at least it does until you try another search.

Please fix this problem with NoScript.

Please fix this problem with NoScript.

You might want to re-word that to make it clear that you meant "please provide something in NoScript to fix this problem", rather than implying that NoScript *is* the problem. A site - even a Google site - that breaks with all sites whitelisted is almost certainly coded poorly.

Also it's hard to fix a problem (or even know how to start investigating) where every single reporter is getting different results from the same suggestions/tests...

Re. Thrawn:

Apologies, I should have said this problem with the website and NoScript. Even if the root cause of the problem is within the website (and agreed this is most likely), I felt the best chance of a fix lies in NoScript, which does, after all, cope brilliantly with a myriad websites, inevitably many of which will be poorly coded.

Re. Barbaz:

I have tried to post the console log from a test with G-A disabled, as per your post of Sun Sep 27, 2015 10:50 pm, but each attempt has failed on Preview or Submit with the error "Ooops, something in your posting triggered my antispam filter...", with resultant deletion of all I had entered.

I'll try to post it here with CSS errors redacted, since the spam filter is more lenient on Moderators:

Yet another different set of errors

Can't investigate this directly due to possible login requirement. So, the only thing I see in common is that "G" is not a function... Can you please try this and let us know if it changes anything visible, just suppresses that error, or has no effect (this case would mean that "G" is some internal thing which gets successfully defined as, er, not a function)?

create these two preferences in about:config

Code: Select all

noscript.surrogate.google_g.replacement : let _G=function(){};Object.defineProperty(window,"G",{get:function(){return _G},set:function(v){if(typeof v == 'function'){return _G=v}}});
