can't get comments to show w/everything allowed

I was trying to read the comments on this page and the comment section does not show up even with
everything allowed in NoScript, Adblockplus disabled everywhere, and https everywhere turned off.

The comments section does show up while in Firefox's safe mode.

Any ideas on what to check when something like this happens?

Does disabling NoScript (Tools > Add-ons Manager > NoScript > Disable > Yes, remove ALL protections) get it working?

If so, when this issue occurs, do you see anything related in the Browser Console? (Ctrl-Shift-J)
(if you don't know what's related, turn off CSS warnings and post everything else you see)

Code: Select all

But disabling XSS does not get it working either.

New clean Profiles, so no extensions.
SeaMonkey 2.49.1, FF 52.

No comments.
No idea why they're not showing up?


A bunch of stuff like this:

Code: Select all

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://966-khf-533.mktoresp.com/webevents/clickLink?_mchNc=1505411951976&_mchId=966-KHF-533&_mchTk=_mch-politico.com-1505411890408-83581&_mchCn=&_mchHo=www.politico.com&_mchPo=&_mchRu=%2Fstory%2F2017%2F09%2F13%2Ftrump-ethics-watchdog-legal-defense-242690&_mchPc=http%3A&_mchVr=151&. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).

What a crap website.

So every once in a blue moon, I did get the comments to display - with NoScript enabled (Allow Globally).

So NoScript is not (entirely) the issue.


What a cap site.

I happen to agree with you. I just like reading comments on sites just to see
what others are saying.

That page just happens to be one of many that I have come across where
I can't get comments or embedded videos to work after allowing everything.

Sites have gotten better at not allowing you to view certain content
without allowing ads.

It's just a little frustrating when you allow everything and something still does
not work but works fine in safe mode.

I'm not sure what to do when something like that happens.

Thanks for the information. I've never completely disabled NoScript using that method.
I remember going to try it once and recall getting a warning message so I canceled.

When something does not appear to work even after allowing everything I will
try it in safe mode. Though that kind of defeats the purpose.

If it works in safe mode I am still clueless on what else to check.

I'll try and remember to check the Browser Console next time something like this happens.

Thanks
