facebook popup required preauthorization for script

Post by Big Fan! »

For a few days, I have been trying to enter a contest on facebook sponsored by dlna.org. Every time I tried to enter, by clicking on the link in Firefox 6.0.1, nothing would happen.

I had to preauthorize scripts from northsocial.com (who is the website that is actually handling the contest for dlna.org) to allow the contest popup window.

My security settings always (in five years of using no-script) always notify me to allow permission for a script, but not this time.

This is the first time that no-script did NOT notify me about a site trying to push me a script. If there is a setting in no-script that pertains to how facebook can work better for situations like this, please let me know.

I doubt that this is specifically related to Facebook, since it's a third-party script. But in general, if something doesn't work, check the NoScript menu. You might need to look at the Recently Blocked Sites submenu to find the script in question.
