NoScript disables imgbox.com Drag and Drop upload feature

Hi,
It appears that NoScript is somehow blocking the Drag and Drop upload feature on imgbox.com site. When an image is dropped there, Firefox just opens that image and nothing else happens.
I added imgbox.com to NoScript whitelist, added
Site .imgbox.com
Accept from .imgbox.com
to ABE, but upload still won't start, unless I completely disable NoScript add-on. With NoScript disabled, everything is working as it's supposed to. Am I still missing something that I can do to stop this behavior, or is there something wrong with NoScript or imgbox itself?
And thanks for this very useful security add-on, of course!

Confirmed.
Or maybe not?
With NoScript, the "Drop Here" dialog "blows up" (enlarges) & the file
loads as
file:// rather then dropping.
The first time I removed NoScript, I was then able to drag & drop the file as expected.
Since then, I've been unable to drag & drop regardless of NoScript being installed or not? Instead each time the Drop Here dialog blows up & the picture is loaded as "file://" ?

As I previously noted, I only disabled NoScript and that was enough to make imgbox upload to work as expected. I never tried to actually remove it for this purpose.
What if you try to do the same now? Just disable it on the add-ons page (click "disable" and "yes, remove all protections") and then drop a file to imgbox upload page.
Could you give it a try, please?
Another thing you could try is to restart Firefox in safe mode (restart with add-ons disabled) or even better - create a new clean profile in the profile manager (firefox -profilemanager) and try it then. I'm sure that it works with the clean profile. While it is possible, that something else can interrupt imgbox's upload scripts, I'm sure that NoScript is one of the culprits that does this. It's not like I tried it only once and jumped here to complain.
At first I thought that imgbox's drag and drop scripts are just not working in Firefox, because it never worked for me, but yesterday I disabled NoScript for the first time before trying to start an upload and it worked for me for the first time. Since imgbox was already in the whitelist, I tried the ABE approach and it didn't work either. To make it work again, I had to completely disable NoScript again.

Not working - at all.
I did get it work, the one time, the very first time after disabling NoScript, but have not gotten it to work since. Each time the picture opens as a "file://" URI.

Anything in the Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J)?

The imgbox.com page itself gives all kinds of errors.
A ton of "unknown property" messages & a couple like:
Code: Select all
Warning: Use of getAttributeNode() is deprecated. Use getAttribute() instead.
Source File: http://imgbox.com/assets/jquery.min-1e5e7298d991f4cbc95eb299f4e4da97.js
Line: 17
Warning: Use of attributes' specified attribute is deprecated. It always returns true.
Source File: http://imgbox.com/assets/jquery.min-1e5e7298d991f4cbc95eb299f4e4da97.js
Line: 17
Though dropping an image onto the page does not cause further messages to appear.
IE 10 does not work either.
They're busted.
