Having problems getting a a javascript to run in Fx while in NS. I go to a specific World Golf Tour (wgt.com/courses/) page and when I hover over a link there I get "javascript:;" and clicking does nothing. The site url is whitelisted and I've tried temporarily enabling the page but still nothing. Javascript is enabled in my Fx Preferences and when I use Safari it works fine. Suggestions what to change? I've tried enabling all of the additional permissions for trusted sites in the NS Options but nothing works there either...

Looks like google-analytics.com is also needed.

That was it. I had marked google-analytics "untrusted." Thanks!

Shouldn't ever be necessary. By default, NS runs a Surrogate Script for G-A.com, which makes the page happy while protecting your privacy.
I just went there, TA'd the site's sole script source (wgt.com), hovered over a link link , and it worked fine.

I did *not* allow media5 or doubleclick.
Will recheck on Fx 8.0, but the surrogate should rule out g-a as being the source of the issue.

Wow, on Fx 8.0 it works even with *all* scripting blocked. Will retry on F3.

Couldn't find any <noscript> elements in the page source (to provide either graceful fallback or the usual warning, "Must enable Javascript", etc.)

Can you please go there, open Firefox Tools > Web Developer > Error Console, click red "Errors", and copy/paste all of them here? Also, click blue "Messages", look for any [NOSCRIPT], [ABE], or related messages, and post those here also?

[O/T rant] Why on Earth did they have to make the Error Console less accessible and less visible? It isn't just a "Web Developer" tool; it's vital for all troubleshooting. What was wrong with leaving it directly on the Tools menu? ... another reason I stick with Fx 3.6.x. [/rant]
