InformAction Forums

Have been using NS for ~2+ years. I'm not versed in the "super technical" settings, I usually whitelist scripts until the site works..

Backstory: Recently clean installed firefox 45 and hence NS 2.9.0.4 (not due to virus/malware). Since then, I've noticed this issue I can't seem to fix by just allowing all scripts..

On jcrew shopping site, more specifically the shopping cart page: some buttons work, others don't. I cannot remove or edit items in my cart, and I cannot add promo codes. I can, however checkout and pay.. All buttons look to be tied to js

I've tried looking on the console through firefox, but it's full of info I cannot decipher

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Were you checking Browser Console (⌘-Shift-J) or Web Console (⌘-Option-K)?

Please check the Browser Console (⌘-Shift-J) when this issue happens and post here any messages related to NoScript.
(related messages usually start with either "[NoScript" or "[ABE]"; if you don't know what's related, turn off CSS warnings and post everything else you see)

anyway, it's been a while since I've used Mac OS X 10.7, so i'm not completely sure about Mac-specific keystrokes...)

Yes, was definitely checking the Web Console and not the Browser Console.. (oops!)

However, when I opened the Browser Console, I discovered the problem was not with NS, but rather with my anti-tracking software (which is really weird because when I turned off NS and kept anti-tracker untouched, every and all buttons worked on jcrew.. I'm sure there's an explanation for that.. )

Thanks for the instructions, sorry for my partial ineptitude there..

lol, thanks. But really all credit goes to the Mac community and its collective propensity to recognize/vocalize displeasure -- every subsequent OS was overwhelmingly panned on the forums and nothing in my own experience testing the "upgrades" convinced me to ignore their cries of foul play.. It's been a great OS for sure..

Thanks for reporting your findings.

In case others who have the same problem find this thread.. can you please tell us what is this anti-tracking software?

Yep, that's what extension conflict looks like.

Anti-tracker was Ghostery. It had blocked Omniture. Once that was unblocked, all buttons worked without a hitch..
