[Unrelated] unable to hyperlink liked pages on facebook

Post by samadams »

It seems that since I have installed Noscript that I have been unable to post hyperlinks to pages (businesses) I've "liked" on my wall in Facebook. I have "allowed" the facebook page and everything I possibly can via preferences but still am unable to post links (they used to pop up as an option when I would type a capital letter - this still happens with people on my friends list). Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Sam

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)

Nope. Nothing there.

Is there a way I can easily turn off noscript and then try (in order to pin down the problem)?

Well, can disable NoScript entirely by
Tools > Add-ons Manager > NoScript > Disable > Yes, remove ALL protections
and then restart the browser. If the problem is NoScript related then it won't occur at that point, but we won't have pinned it down much.

Please let us know, thanks.

Ok- after further research it appears that this is a facebook issue with a very simple solution. Facebook apparently requires the use of the "@" symbol now before hyperlinking to a liked page. Sorry for any confusion. They changed this about the same time I installed Noscript.
