Google Search box and Search Button does not work

Post by thesappho »

Hello

For several weeks (I'm a little bit lazy :) ) my Google Search box and search button does not work. In mean time No-Script updated several times. I tired some google searches but did not find anything about this.
These are some steps I took to by pass the problem:

1) I allowed all web sites from No-Script -> with no luck
2) I added google.com white list but no luck.
3) If I disable No-Script from Extensions menu of Firefox the google search starts to work without any problems.

When I enter a search term from the "browsers' (->Firefox, obviously) Search box", google displays results. But when I:
1) change search query in the Search box from the display page, or
2) enter any search query from http://www.google.com, or
no new search is accomplished, real time search seems to work partially (the results pane is dimmed) but again pressin Enter or clicking Search Button does not work. But if I:
1) click "I'm feeling lucky" link in suggestion drop down box in Search box, or
2) click anything to change searcy type (like 'Images', 'Maps' etc.) the results are shown.

From these behaviours I suspect No-Script causes clicking enter in the Search box or clicking Search Button not to function.

To express better I prepared some screen shots below (English is not my mother tongue {which is Turkis}, so it is possible I might have expressed myself wrong). Also I added my No-Script settings (sorry it displays in Turkish). I resetted all settings to default also.
BTW No-Script version is 2.1.8.rc3

Thanks in any further help.
(Also the is one step to take which I will do right now -> Removing No script and installing again)

Hello again,

When I removed completely No-Script and relaunched Firefox, the search worked flawlessly.
Then I reinstalled No-Script searchin works again :).
So the problem is solved. Maybe this post will help some one in future.

In the future, you can export your settings for NS, perform a reset and then load the settings back and it should normally fix issues such as the one you had. What you did is fine, but this method might make it a bit less time consuming (since we are lazy and all ;) )
