InformAction Forums

I'm a member of a bulletin board site that runs phpBB3 software. Suddenly, when I try to reply to a post, the composer will not show the formatting toolbar or the Smilies panel. I have whitelisted the site's domain in the NoScript 5.1.8.6 Options Whitelist tab, but to no avail. The only way I can get my browser (SeaMonkey 2.49.3) to display the toolbar and Smilies panel is to completely disable NoScript 5.1.8.6 globally...which is not a good idea.

The bulletin board site in question is a private forum. No one except registered users can even see the posts, and they have to be logged in. I'm not worried about disabling NoScript for that site, but I don't want to disable it globally, for all websites.

The same thing happens in Firefox with NoScript 10.1.8.2, for the same website. Even when I grant full "Trusted" status to the site in the Per-Site Permissions tab, Firefox won't display the composer toolbar or Smilies panel. However, at least in Firefox I can use the "Disable restrictions for this tab" in the NoScript 10.1.8.2 widget in the Firefox toolbar. When I disable restrictions, then Firefox displays the composer toolbar and Smilies panel.

Alas, there is no "Disable restrictions for this tab" feature in NoScript 5.1.8.6, which is the latest version of NoScript that will run in SeaMonkey. Is there a way to completely disable NoScript 5.1.8.6 for a single tab, or even for the entire web site?

Thanks!

When this issue occurs with NoScript 5.1.8.6, 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)

OK...I cleared everything out of the Browser Console, and then clicked the "Post a new topic button" to load the page with the composer, and that loaded everything associated with that page into the Browser Console...except the composer toolbar and the Smilies panel.

Please note that NoScript also displayed the following warning:



Clicking on the Options button displays the following menu:



Clicking on "Allow all this page" gets rid of the warning, but does not result in loading the composer toolbar or the Smilies panel.

I tried to paste the Browser Console content into this post using the Code display, but the forum rejected it with the following message:

Ooops, something in your posting triggered my antispam filter...
Please use the "Back" button to modify your content and retry.

So, I'm including it as a screen shot:

Sorry about that. I can't find an attachment feature for this message composer. I can provide you with whatever info you need in order to help me resolve this, but I'm still learning. Thanks for your patience.

What is your setting for NoScript Options > Advanced > HTTPS > Permissions, "Forbid active Web content unless it comes from a secure (HTTPS) connection"?

You're absolutely right. I missed that completely. Thanks for catching that.

It's set to "Never", and the "Allow HTTPS scripts globally on HTTPS documents" box is unchecked.

p.s. I'm not allowed to view the topic you linked. Maybe I'm too new.

Your console messages has a lot of JS errors

In your SeaMonkey, please create a clean profile from scratch. Disable the default installed extensions. Install only NoScript Classic latest development build, leaving all the defaults.
Does the problem still exist?
If not, what if you then import your NS settings into the clean profile using the Import and Export buttons *on the very bottom* of NS Options?
If that still doesn't reproduce the problem, NoScript is not the culprit... try Standard Diagnostic (leaving NS enabled) to isolate and correct the real cause.

Let us know, thanks.

Only Admin/Mods can see it.

It appears that my whitelist was a mess. So I did a reset, which cleaned everything out of the whitelist.

That fixed the problem, when I allowed the specific URLs for the site that was giving me the problem. I'm now in the process of rebuilding the list, which I probably needed to do anyway.

Thanks for your help!
