[Unrelated]splice.com not working (Scripts Globally Allowed)

[flberger]

Hello,

I have trouble getting the audio cloud service https://splice.com/ web interface to work in Firefox.

No matter how much I allow, the site will display the logo and "LOADING" but not load.

Even with "Scripts Globally Allowed" the site won't work. Only disabling the NoScript addon entirely does.

Firefox is 40.0.3, NoScript is 2.9.0.4.

Any hints on how to start solving this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, flberger

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)

web interface

Just what is "web interface"?
Is that "Studio" or ... ?

They probably just mean the site, as opposed to an app or something.

And I'm left with the "LOADING" icon.

web interface

Just what is "web interface"?
Is that "Studio" or ... ?

Well I mean it's not exactly a page, it's a JavaScript + HTML web interface to a cloud-based database. There also is a standalone sync client. Nevermind, let's say the "splice.com web page".

[therube]

Well I loaded splice.com "*just fine", logged in, was able to see stuff & load "Studio"...

*just fine: Didn't really know what I was looking at, & the site didn't seem, lets say, sprightly.

Ah. On further testing, looks like Ghostery + uBlock block something vital.

With everything disabled except NoScript it works here, too.

Thanks for helping.

Do you use ublock or uBlock Origin?

Ghostery is infamous for causing all kinds of weird issues, and it's redundant with the combination of uBlock Origin + NoScript. I would recommend you just uninstall Ghostery, and (if you haven't already) set up your ublock to block tracking.

The way to diagnose uBlock Origin issues is by opening the logger (this MUST be done from the panel), and then (re)loading the page in question. Then, in the logger, select the tab with the newly-loaded page in question, and it'll tell you what's blocked and how, you can also from there make exceptions. Refer to their documentation for more info about it, I know uBlock Origin's docs explain its logger far better than I can.
