Can't keep Flash disabled

Post by Odin99 »

Although I've removed eventrockit.com from NoScript's whitelist, whenever I bring up that site, the NoScript icon shows all scripts are allowed. As I result I can't use my Firefox browser to go to this site at all! Doing so with Flash enabled will currently crash the browser almost immediately. (The same is probably true of other sites as well, but this is a new development.) Firefox tells me that taking Flash from its "protected mode" will solve, but it doesn't. While I try to find out why, it seems that disabling Flash from the get-go will solve. How can I do this?

Are you sure the site is staying removed from your whitelist?

Can you please post an exact URL where you see the problem?

Thanks, barbaz, for your reply.

My investigation using Firefox's forum has just produced a post telling me that Flash is not used on the site in question. So at this point I don't know what to think. It's strange, because yesterday (probably before the latest Flash update) part of the page was hidden until I instructed NoScript to Allow. Maybe it's a different script?

Anyway, the page is eventrockit.com, and I've very thoroughly checked to make sure the page is no longer whitelisted in NoScript.

I too do not see any Flash on https://eventrockit.com/. Nor do I notice any problem at all on that site.

Does it work OK for you in a new, clean profile with only NoScript installed and all defaults?

Barbaz, it seems the problem is likely caused by one of my multitudinous Firefox extensions, but not Flash. Rather than spend more time on it, I'll plan just to view the site when necessary in another browser. Thanks again.
