Firefox Hung when enable scripts on several webs.

[maherma]

From several websites, Firefox hang when temporary enable scripts on it. If I disable NoScript, all websites load without hang.

OS: OSX 10.11
Firefox: 45.0a2 (2016-01-10)
NoScript: 2.9.0.2
Websites causing hang:
- http://www.huffingtonpost.es/
- posting.php?mode=post&f=7
- ...

Any sugestion. Regards,
Manuel.

Is e10s enabled or disabled?

Please crash the hung Firefox and submit the crash report, and post here the link.
Use Activity Monitor to get the Firefox's process ID, then open Terminal.app and use the kill command to terminate that process with SIGABRT (I don't remember how exactly to do that on a Mac).
EDIT Quick search indicates it'd be like this

Code: Select all

kill -s ABRT <the_firefox_pid>

replacing "<the_firefox_pid>" with the proces ID from Activity Monitor.
However, Before using that command, please enter

Code: Select all

man kill

in Terminal.app and confirm that the man page says the same about how to use the kill command. The linked man page is for 10.9 and you're running Yosemite, your kill command may not function like that says.
/EDIT


What if you disable auto-reloading from NoScript?
What if you Allow Scripts Globally then visit a page that hangs?

Hi barbaz,

Thanks for your help.

Yes, e10s is enable by default.

This is the link for the crash:
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/ ... c642160113

When I disable auto-reload firefox don't hangs, neither when load websites with scripts globally allowed.

e10s support is a work in progress. Please enable it only if you're happy to be a guinea pig...and ensure that you're using the development version of NoScript.

Hi Thrawn,

I´m no problem to be guinea pig, I've usually work with several browsers with several versions and I'm happy to beta-testing in my little posibilities.

The development version link you post get a version previous to production one (https://secure.informaction.com/downloa ... 0.1rc2.xpi vs https://secure.informaction.com/downloa ... .9.0.2.xpi). Is it a labeling error or link error?
