When I have NoScript enabled Firefox won't load pages.

Post by Snowstone »

Since a few days ago I've noticed that Firefox after the initial boot would load the first couple of pages, and then the pages wouldn't load. It would simply open a blank tab and stay like that until I got a error page from Firefox saying it couldn't make a connection. I disabled Noscript and all the pages load normally. I reenable noscript and it goes back to not loading pages. I don't know why this is happening.

Anyone can help me?

Thank you.

I'm using Firefox 57.0.2 (64-bit) and NoScript 10.1.5.7

Well, you are not giving us a lot to work with.
Have you tried creating a second Firefox profile and checked there?

Because if you you type in a URL firefox shouldn't open a new tab to begin with.

I rarely type URL's I have my most visited sites on the bookmark toolbar, and when I click there the page starts to load. When Noscript is enable it simply doesn't load.

No I haven't, How do I create a second profile? And if I do, does that mean I have to reconfigure all my settings?

Thank you.

Hi Snowstone. Here are the instructions for creating a new Firefox profile.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pr ... x-profiles

When you create the new profile, the one you are using now is still there, you can go back to it later, save it and use both profiles or delete it. You can do whatever you want with it.

After creating the profile, install only NoScript and test. If some setting in your current profile is messing things up and is the reason you are having an issue, them with the new profile things should work as they are supposed to.

Can I just disable all other extensions, or do I have to uninstall them all?

wat?

Creating a new profile does not affect your existing profile. You don't need touch any of your extensions at this stage.
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

Doing the new profile is a better test. As you ll get a good read of what happens in your system between a fresh untouched profile and NoScript. The new profile allows you to test Firefox as if you just installed it with NoScript. Default settings in Firefox and no interference from other addons.
