I've just installed the S3.Google Translate addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ranslator/) to enable websites auto-translation under Firefox in a similar fashion to what happens in Google Chrome (for a better explanation of what I'm trying to achieve read the post at http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... &t=3031479).
I was having some issues with the auto-translation feature of S3.Google Translate hence I disabled No Script. I was guessing that No Script "anti-XSS" (cross-site scripting) could interfere with that plugin even without any warning.
In effect, now that I disabled No Script, S3.Google Translate activates the auto-translation much more often.
I've also posted an help request on S3.Google Translate thread on forum.mozillazine.org (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... #p14754784)
Can you please help me sorting out what's the specific conflict here?
S3.Google Translate uses the Google API to ask and provide a translation for the website hence I guess that No Script blocks such requests.
How can I disable such block for this specific addon?

Re: No Script conflicting with "S3.Google Translate" addon
That dev has a history of writing addons that mess with NoScript internals. So I did some digging and found this code -
At least this one prompts explicitly before touching the NoScript permissions.
Looks like you need to Temp-Allow the top-level site as well as Allow some google translate domains.
Code: Select all
s3gt.utils.check_noscript = function(win, domain, is_confirm) {
var is_change_rule = false;
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// check NoScript (Giorgio Maone <g.maone@informaction.com>)
// https://addons.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=ss
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try {
if ("noscriptOverlay" in window) {
var confirm_res = true;
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
// it's enabled, which happens also if just domain is whitelisted
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
if (noscriptOverlay.ns.isJSEnabled(domain)) {
// good!
}
else {
if (is_confirm) {
var confirm_txt = s3gt.utils.get_string('s3gt.confirm.translate.full.page.noscript');
confirm_txt = confirm_txt.replace("DOMAIN", '"' + domain + '"');
confirm_res = confirm(confirm_txt);
}
if (confirm_res) {
//----------------------------------------------------------
// temporarily added site in NoScript-White-List
//----------------------------------------------------------
noscriptOverlay.ns.setTemp(domain, true);
noscriptOverlay.ns.setJSEnabled(domain, true);
is_change_rule = true;
}
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
//-- temporarily added: translate.googleapis.com, translate.google.com, translate.google.cn
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
if (confirm_res) {
var domain_list = ['translate.googleapis.com', 'translate.google.com', 'translate.google.cn'];
for (var d=0; d<domain_list.length; d++) {
if (! noscriptOverlay.ns.isJSEnabled(domain_list[d])) {
noscriptOverlay.ns.setTemp(domain_list[d], true);
noscriptOverlay.ns.setJSEnabled(domain_list[d], true);
is_change_rule = true;
}
}
}
if (is_change_rule) {
noscriptOverlay.ns.quickReload(win);
}
}
} catch(e) {
}
return is_change_rule;
}
Looks like you need to Temp-Allow the top-level site as well as Allow some google translate domains.
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

Many thanks for the reply barbaz.barbaz wrote:Looks like you need to Temp-Allow the top-level site as well as Allow some google translate domains.
I've whitelisted translate.google.cn in No Script (translate.googleapis.com and translate.google.com where already there).
Regarding the top-level sites I had them already enabled (not all the javascripts in the website tho) but I still have some issues. I will try to check and sort on a case-by-case basis.
I will let you know in case of updates.
All the best,
