Offline Warning with ABE enabled

Post by francais »

Hello, perhaps someone can help me with this issue.
I've installed latest version of NoScript, 1.9.8.4 with the default settings on Firefox 3.5.2 running in Windows Vista Home Premium with SP2.
With ABE enabled, when I close Firefox, after Firefox closes I get a notification popup window that states Firefox is in the offline mode and cannot browse the internet. When I reopen Firefox, it reopens normally in the online mode.
I've tried disabling ABE notifications, but this does not solve the popup window issue after I close Firefox.
If I disable ABE alltogehter the notification pop up window no longer appears after I close Firefox.
Would greatly appreciate any information regarding this issue as I would like to keep ABE enabled but having to click OK on the notification popup window each time I close Firefox is inconvient.
Thanks for any assistance on this issue.

I can't see anything like that.
Maybe an extensions conflict? Could you try Standard Diagnostic keeping NoScript & ABE enabled, so we can tell if another extension is concurring in this issue?

Thanks for the super quick reply Giorgio.
You were correct it is an extension conflict. The conflicting extension is Google Toolbar for Firefox 5.0.20090122Wb2; with it enabled I get the offline mode warning window after closing NoScript with ABE enabled, while with it disabled the warning does not appear.
I've tinkered with the Google Toolbar options, even disabling all of them, but it still generates the warning window if ABE is enabled in NoScript.
What is odd though is that this only happens on my Vista machine. I am running the exact same Firefox configuration on my other PC with Windows XP Home SP3 and do not have the problem on that machine.
Well anyway, since I much prefer the security offered by NoScript to the Google Toolbar options I'll opt to keep the toolbar disabled and run NoScript with ABE enabled.
Again thanks for the assistance and for the time you've taken to develop such a wonderful extension.
All the best

Update on this issue...
I've just updated the Google Toolbar for Firefox to the latest version 5.0.20090805W. Regretfully the update did not result in any improvement.
Still get the offline warning popup when closing Firefox.
I am going to post this issue to the Google Toolbar Forum also, maybe the Google folks can figure it out.
