Firefox gets wide!

Here's what happens when I open some sites (here for example:https://www.coursera.org/learn/calculus1)
I first tried with latest stable version and then with latest devel version, both gives the same.

Do you have a HOSTS file (or similar) blocking facebook?

NO, but actually yes!
I live in Iran so, it is blocked by the government/ISP.
If it is that, please do something for your Iranian users.

IMO they are doing you a favor blocking Facebook, but judging by that ABE message it seems their method of blocking is... suboptimal. Can you please open a Terminal, run

Code: Select all

dig www.facebook.com

and post here its output? Thanks.

Thanks.
That is not what I expected to see... I'm not sure enough details of your network setup to say what the real fix is here, so I'll post two possible fixes and let you pick the one you think is best. Please let us know, thanks.

Possible fix #1 - just allow these requests to happen:
NoScript Options > Advanced > ABE > SYSTEM
add at the very top

Code: Select all

Site 10.10.34.36
Accept

Possible fix #2 - continue to block the requests, but suppress the notification for subdocuments (which is a bug: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=18996):
change the SYSTEM rule (same SYSTEM as above) to read

Code: Select all

# Prevent Internet sites from requesting LAN resources.
Site LOCAL
Accept from LOCAL
Deny INC
Deny

Forget about your first solution because one of the most useful usage of NoScript is stoping THAT site from redirecting :/
But the second one seems to be working; though I expect you to fix it up in the next version so all the Iranians wouldn't have to change NoScript default settings and be unable to see notifs.
Thanks for your awesome addon

(On behalf of Giorgio too) You're welcome!
