NoScript breaks initially working PDF JS on Firefox
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2015 2:00 pm
Environment:
Windows 7 SP1 x64, Firefox 36.0.1 NoScript 2.6.9.17.
Load a PDF using built-in Firefox PDF JS. for example this one:
http://www.education.gov.yk.ca/pdf/pdf-test.pdf
Everything is OK, for now.
While keeping the PDF loaded, open a new tab or a new window, it doesn't matter. You may browse to another website or not, it really doesn't matter. What you have to do to trigger the bug is to either whitelist or blacklist something. Doing both or doing multiple whitelists or blacklists won't change the outcome anymore.
When done return to the tab with the PDF and notice that the GUI functionality has been broken. There are several easy tests to try:
-open pages browser from left,
-go fullscreen,
-open more options menu,
-do page up, page down (doesn't work for document I linked, it's a single page PDF),
and so on. You'll notice that none of these actions are working anymore.
