Walmart.com - can't add item to cart, etc.

Post by nos101 »

With NoScript enabled (now on 2.9.0.4, but I think had the problem before), on walmart.com I cannot ADD an item to cart, and cannot select a store at top of page, even when I do allow all this page multiple times, and all warnings at bottom of page are gone, Walmart.com is unusable! Please Help!

I thought that too, but he says ADD rather then not being able to log in.

Allowing Globally, clicking 'Add to Cart', seems to do nothing:

Error Console shows a bunch of stuff like:

This from the other thread bypassed the problem. Is there any security downside using this? Thanks!

From the other thread mentioned above (I think it is suggesting Walmart correct their code)...

While waiting for them to respond, try this work-around:
about:config > noscript.inclusionTypeChecking.exceptions
add on the end, separated by a space

Code: Select all

It should be reasonably safe. The server that hosts the script has an error, but presumably the script content is still properly controlled by Walmart, and is in fact designed to be included directly in a page.

I don't think it's likely that Walmart's CDN has files that are terribly susceptible to the type of abuse that this protection is designed to prevent (but what do I know ;) ). In any case hopefully it's only a temporary issue anyway.
