Unable to access view.yahoo.com with NoScript

Post by SxDerp »

If I have NoScript enabled through the FireFox addons menu I am unable to access this page.
I have even tried "enable scripts globally." However, as soon as I disable NoScript from the
addons menu and restart the browser I can access view.yahoo.com without a problem.

CTRL+SHIFT+J logs has this (a lot)
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/
[NoScript HTTPS] Redirected Channel https://view.yahoo.com/

Suggestions on how to proceed?

It might be httpsDefWhitelist in action again, if so try:
NoScript Options > Advanced > HTTPS > Behavior, add view.yahoo.com to "Never force ..."

Looks like adding view.yahoo.com to never force fixed the issue.

FWIW this isn't the only issue yahoo has with httpsDefWhitelist

(and I think there might even be more threads than that)

How is this different, Noscript breaks access to whitelist entries by forcing SSL & why wouldn't the suggestion there also to be to whitelist specific URI?

I'd rather not answer that in a public thread. ;)
