When trying to use the Google Play book reader I keep getting a blank screen.
The URL begins with
https://play.google.com/books
I have the scripts enabled to run.
Windows 7 computer, Firefox ESR 52.9.0, NoScript 5.1.8.4
To duplicate this issue-
Go to
https://play.google.com/store/books/det ... ZDRIa14WQC
Click on Free Sample
Will open in a new tab, shows a blank screen
Allow scripts as needed
Reloading page does not change anything - still blank

Working on my end.
To test, I simply Allowed Globally.
(Allowed & without trying to minimize: google.com, googleusercontent.com, content.googleapis.com, google-analytics.com)
Disable Hardware Acceleration in FF & see if that makes a difference on your end?
If not, then test in a new, clean Profile, with only NoScript installed, Allow Globally & load your site.

Thanks for the quick reply. I just tested it on a different computer and it worked with allowing just Google and GoogleUserContent on that computer:
Windows 10 with Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 and NoScript 10.1.88
It seems to point to a difference in functionality under Firefox ESR vs. Quantum.

And another interesting thing. On the browser that wasn't working, I got a Google error saying I had to accept cookies for their GoogleUserContent domain. Checked my settings and I had disallowed 3rd party cookies. When I allowed them, the Play Books site started working again. Strange since it had used to work without that allowed but everything is constantly being changed on the internet.
Thanks a lot for your help.
