Buttons for pop-out video and pop-out chat Flash objects at www.twitch.tv and www.justin.tv no longer appear to function with NoScript releases post v. 2.3.4.

Problem occurs with NoScript as only enabled extension. Allowing scripts globally does not resolve behavior, while completely disabling NoScript does resolve the issue. Reverting to v. 2.3.4 resolves the issue.


Using Firefox 12 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0) on Win 7 Home Pemium, 64-bit.


Thanks!

What's a "button for pop-out video"?

Probably a button to open the video in a popup window similar to the one found on e.g. Youtube.

Does the error console report something that might be relevant?

Yes, I've found them: not on the main page video, but on all the secondary one such as http://www.twitch.tv/crumps2 - if you hover it, it says "pop out".
They work just fine for me on 2.4.3 (a popup is spawned with the same video, and if I close it the video is restored on the originating page).

Thanks for suggesting a look at the (Firefox) error console. I received a message "window.open is not a function", Googled, and the 3rd result led back here to: http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8453

I should have read the "General troubleshooting" suggestions at http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1431
because pressing the Reset button within the NoScript options has fixed the issue when using 2.4.3 !!!
(Is it strange that reverting to 2.3.4 also restored the pop-outs?)

Thanks for making the web a safer place,
