ClearClick -Warning window

Post by oldbill »

I am a newcomer to Firefox and gradually learning to handle NoScripts. My apologies if this is posted in wrong forum.

Today I received for the first time a Clear Click warning window when I tried to enter some information on a web site. By clicking the image I was able to see the hidden button which was acceptable to me.

Clicking OK on the ClearClick warning window closed that window but as soon as I tried again to enter information on the web site the warning window re-appeared.

The ClearClick warning window several options viz:

1. Keep this element locked (recommended)
2. Clear Click protection on pages
3. OK
4. Report
5. More information

I shall be grateful for any guidance on the effect of clicking each of these options and how they should be used.

  1. If this is a one-shot interaction with this site, you can just uncheck "Keep this element blocked".
    You won't be warned again for this specific object until you close the browser.
  2. Otherwise, if this is a site you often visit (say http://www.mybank.com), you may want to open about:config and add "*.mybank.com" to the noscript.clearClick.exceptions preference.
  3. Finally, if you have this false positive problem on many sites you use often, and you find #2 too much tedious, you can uncheck the "ClearClick protection... on trusted pages" box. You will still be protected against Clickjacking when on sites which are not in your whitelist.
