[RESOLVED] NoScript blocks whitelisted localhost websocket

Post by nunks »

Hello,

I've been using NoScript for a while now, and since I upgraded Firefox to 50.0.0.2 I've been having issues when accessing my banking website.

My bank forces its clients to install a "security add-on" (a snooper, really) to be able to use its website. It runs a process that listens at 127.0.0.1:30900 so the website can connect to it using websockets and do god-knows-what.

The bank's address is completely whitelisted already, and I also whitelisted the localhost IP. It works when I disable all Firefox add-ons, while failing to work when I enable just NoScript. Is there something I can do to enable this specific websocket?

Thanks!

*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

Thank you very much! =)

I feel a bit stupid 'cause I'd read the FAQ, but didn't really scroll to the finish as I was looking for something referring to "websockets"...

Thanks again!

Actually the FAQ was recently updated in response to this issue.
