[UNRELATED] Strange behavior logging into Imgur via Google+

Post by alwayssummer »

I am getting some unexpected behavior when I try to log into Imgur via Google+.

First, when Google's permissions page opens, the Imgur icon is missing.

Then after clicking "Allow" the pop-up window closes itself and then also closes whatever tab happens to be active in Firefox.

It's quite strange. If the Imgur tab happens to be the active one (which would be normal) then it closes the Imgur tab and the login fails.

I guess the first place to start would be to find out if this is being caused by NoScript. What's the best way to test that? Disable the add-on?

NoScript 2.6.9.39
Firefox 41.0.2
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0

Probably.

Yes, but before that, you can try allowing scripts globally to see if that fixes it.

Did not fix.

Neither did disabling NoScript.

I guess Imgur just has a shamefully bad login script. It pains me to think that such a popular site could be running such bad code.

Are you running any other addons? Maybe privacy-related like Adblock Plus or Ghostery or Disconnect? Those might interfere with something that the page expects.
