[FIXED] NoScript 10.1.8 conflicts with Twitter widget

Post by vpoint »

NoScript 10.1.8 conflicts with Twitter embedded timeline widget

Environment
-----------

-Default install of NoScript
-FF60.0.1 (W7 32-bit & W10 64-bit tested) - EIT now tested on FF61.0b9 Dev Edition - same
-Twitter widget web-generated code

Code: Select all

<a class="twitter-timeline"  href="https://twitter.com/nnn" data-widget-id="xxx" data-dnt="true">Tweets by @nnn</a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script>
and simpler async script

Code: Select all

<a class="twitter-timeline"  href="https://twitter.com/nnn" data-widget-id="xxx" data-dnt="true">Tweets by @nnn</a>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
variants tested

-Tracking Protection (FF) turned off

Symptom
-------

Twitter widget code <a> tag has class 'twitter-timeline-error' added and only the <a> tag is displayed in the div
Twitter JS does not insert an <iframe>


Fixes
-----

Disabling NoScript fixes the problem
Restarting FF with extensions disabled fixes the problem

Opening the inspector and reloading the page temporarily fixes the problem (???)

Example
-------

Have you test in a new, clean Profile with only NoScript installed? With NoScript, Globally Allowed?

Any related NoScript errors noted in Error Console?

FF 60
NS 10.1.8.1 & 10.1.8.2rc3

https://wet-boew.github.io/v4.0-ci/demo ... er-en.html

I tested with the example timeline above and it appeared to work. Does that timeline work for you or is the problem just with your own timeline? It does seem to load bit slow at times though.

That URL does not exhibit the fault, you're right - I found it before I posted here and it worked with 10.1.8.1. I could not eliminate the involvement of the data-dnt: argument on my site, however - which that URL does not use.

No-one asked for a URL for the site that exhibits the error.

The point is moot - it has been silently fixed in 10.1.8.2
