[Resolved] Firefox, Noscript, and PDFs

Post by relic25 »

We use a company website to generate PDF reports on button-clicks. Ever since Firefox updated to 60.0.1, every time we attempt to output one of these reports, the download fails with a "pdf.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" error (if we have Firefox configured to save PDFs) or the file fails to open in Adobe Reader because the download fails (if configured to open PDFs in AR).

Through a lot of troubleshooting and experimentation, I've found that disabling NoScript (10.1.8.7) entirely will make the problem go away, and everything functions as expected. Enabling NoScript and disabling restrictions globally also works, but no other configuration will allow PDFs to download (disabling restrictions on the tab, whitelisting everything in NoScript for the website, even allowing XSS).

Have there been any other reports of this? We can consistently reproduce this issue on multiple computers in multiple geographic locations with differing ISPs.

Never mind.
Version 10.1.8.8rc1 fixed it!
