A website has embedded flash videos that are shown with the noscript placeholder - the site itself is in the whitelist. I want this behavior.
Now in the past when I clicked on the video element it got enabled and the video played like I wanted.
Now the video gets loaded 'fullscreen' but still as a placeholder.
Example website would be xhamster.

I disabled all other addons but the problem is still there.
Also tried with the newest dev version 2.6.9.9rc1. Using FF Nightly 37.
What can I do to get the old bahavior back (loading the element on click)?

Thank you

What is the URL?

What happens if you use older NoScript versions? Can you identify a specific version where the problem was introduced?

Well I just tried it with an old (aka 'normal' FF34) version through portableapps and it works there.
Example site as said would be xhamster.com - or any other side with embedded stuff, that will be shown as a placeholder I guess.

Working as expected for me.
Don't know that I've ever seen a clip open full screen, automatically.

Ok after I tried a lot I seem to have found the problem.
The nightly allows for electrolysis being enabled (this is a nightly feature for tab separation in processes https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis). I have this disabled, because I want the 'normal' FF behavior. This sets user_pref("browser.tabs.remote.autostart.1", false); in the prefs.js. But also will prevent noscript from working as expected.
If I enable electrolysis it will work again.

Thanks

EDIT: I've seen that Giorgio seems to be aware of the problem: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1058542
Any status on the particular problem?
Beside, I have the problem, when Electrolysis is disabled - not when it's enabled.

Confirmed.

Worst part is that I couldn't watch LESBIAN VAMPIRE - softcore music video in fullscreen!

So if I could bring this up again - any plans for a fix?

NoScript is broken in e10s and it will be until NoScript 3.x is released for desktop, so don't assume that enabling e10s is a good fix or workaround.

What happens if you try to allow the Flash object through Blocked Objects submenu and pick the appropriate option *above* the separator?

Anything related in the Browser Console (Ctrl-Shift-J) on browser startup or when it fails?

Please create a clean profile from scratch. Turn off e10s in that profile but leave all other defaults. Then install only NoScript latest development build, leaving it in default configuration except for checking NoScript Options > Embeddings > Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too.
Does the problem still exist?
If not, what if you then import your NS settings into the clean profile using the Import and Export buttons *on the very bottom* of NS Options?

Let us know, thanks.

If I chose it from the blocked object menu it works perfectly fine - but the behavior before my inital report was, that it works with a click on the object.

Anyway I just "fixed" this problem by installing an additional addon called 'flash control' and not blocking flash objects from trusted sites in NS anymore, so now 'flash control' will block it and allow it on click.
