[SOLVED] [BUG] Firefox 16 + ABE = Deny on moz-nullprincipal

[Lekensteyn]

Edit: solved with 2.5.8

With Firefox 16 and NoScript 2.5.7 I get the next error when trying to open a URL (in this case, paypal.com) directly from the URL bar:

Code: Select all

[ABE] <.paypal.com> Deny on {GET http://paypal.com/ <<< moz-nullprincipal:{f1194aeb-532e-410e-b9f4-c55d8b468f2f} - 6}
USER rule:
Site .paypal.com
Accept from https://www.paypal.com
Deny

This worked fine with Firefox 15 and is broken since Firefox 16.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new profile and start Firefox (mkdir ff && firefox -no-remote -profile ff)
2. Install NoScript
3. Restart and add the next rule:

Code: Select all

Site .paypal.com
Accept from https://www.paypal.com
Deny

4. Type http://paypal.com/ in the location bar and press Enter
5 (Firefox < 16) The Paypal website opens as expected
5 (Firefox >= 16) I get the above mentioned error message.

I found a previous thread (/viewtopic.php?t=8870&f=23) with a similar error, but that is not about URLs opened from the URL bar.

PS. your spamfilter is annoying and until I removed this website hostname from the above URL, I get an anti-spam message.

Ah. There is a thread that talks specifically about this, but I guess you missed it. Giorgio will fix it if and when he can.

It is very annoying, but not nearly as annoying as the amount of spam that we get . However, I've fixed up your link for you.

Spamfilter caught me again when editing the thread to mark it as solved

That's very proactive of you; thanks! Normally we take care of it. Good to hear the fix worked .
