[RESOLVED] Why is NS keeping iCloud Photos from working?

[Lee49]

According to NoScript, the only two scripts to be allowed are apple.com and icloud.com and both are allowed.

It has never worked since I started going to icloud.com/#photos a few weeks ago to manage my photos and videos online. Everything else on icloud.com works though, just the Photos is the problem with NS.

I keep getting this pop up error saying "Photos has stopped responding", here's the screenshot of that pop up.



I know NS is causing this issue since as soon as I disabled it and restarted Firefox, my iCloud Photos worked just fine, for the first time ever. That, and it works fine using Chrome too, but I don't like using Chrome.

It has to be something in the Options/Settings that's causing this glitch. Please tell me what I can do to resolve this issue.

Thank you,

Lee

When this issue occurs, do you see anything related in the Browser Console? (Ctrl-Shift-J)
(if you don't know what's related, turn off CSS warnings and post everything else you see)

As requested post the log for it, but chances are because its interacting with LOCAL, ABE is blocking it, you might need to whitelist iCloud access to your LOCAL region to make it work properly, the log would be helpful to give you the rule to use.

I started to do that and was going to post it here but something caught my eye, the "S" icon for NoScript had a red circe w/line going through it so I moused over it to see what it was all about and a new "allow" page (icloud-content.com) showed its' face which was not there before, I allowed it and voila!, the iCloud Photos suddenly worked in Firefox. I have no clue why icloud-content.com wasn't ever in the list before but it is now and is allowed which resolved this issue that I asked for help on. So I imagine we can close this thread since it works now.

Thanks barbaz for taking the time to help me.

Oh, fwiw, here's the screenshot of the mystery icloud-content.com making its' appearance today:

I was going to try that next but as I just posted in my reply to barbaz, it's working now, it's weird why icloud-content.com was never seen before until today but I allowed it and all is well.

Thanks a bunch.
