Problem with Archived Videos on cbs.com

Post by dkwalton »

Even with NoScript disabled globally, archived videos on cbsnews.com will not play. (However, the cbsnews.com live video stream video works fine.)

The message "Please Disable Ad Blocker" appears in the video window and it is not until the NoScript add-on is completely disabled and Firefox restarted that an archived video can be played.

Can anyone help me do either or both of the following --

1) Get NoScript to allow cbsnews.com to play archived videos when NoScript is globally enabled.

2) Get NoScript to allow cbsnews.com to play archived videos when NoScript is globally disabled.

I'm assuming that "globally enabled" means "Scripts Globally Allowed":

Anything in Untrusted?
If not, 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)

Yes, but nothing to do with cbs.com. Even with all untrusted removed, the same problem exists.

Yes, I mean Scripts Globally Allowed and Forbid Scripts Globally with allow cbsnews.com. In both cases archived videos will not play until NoScript is disabled in add-ons. Go to cbsnews.com and try it for yourself.

You can PM it to an active Mod (me, GµårÐïåñ, therube, or Thrawn) and we'll try to post it for you. PMs to forum staff are not spam-filtered, and the spam filter is more lenient on us.
