As title says. Can't use SAS website to search flights with noscript enabled.

Interesting.
And true.

Though it does seem to resolve itself after (going opaque &) a minute or two.

Does it still happen if you disable NoScript?

Anyhow, I booked me an economy flight from Alto to Berlin for only $442.26, round trip.
Depending, I can spend the same going from Baltimore to Florida!

Does not happen in Safe Mode.

BTW, http://www.flysas.com/.

(And I thought you were talking about SAS.)

I tried yesterday, and I couldn't reproduce (but it might be my CPU being fairly fast).

I retried today with a slower PC, and the site seems broken (autocompletion of cities fails behind the scenes with a 500 internal server errors).

Works for me but before the flights were displayed my whole browser was stalled for about 2 seconds.

Easily reproducible for me.
Thinking it is the locale that makes a difference.
Try http://www.flysas.com/en/us/.
I had no problem with http://www.flysas.com/it/it/.

Worked for me just fine but similar to dhouwn it has a freeze but not before the load like him, but between actions lasting about 1-2 seconds each time when the Fx title would indicate (Not Responding) and screen repainting kind of funny and going back to normal. Speed of the machine didn't seem to matter as I tried on greatly differing hardware and although the release time from the stall was quicker on the faster machine, the stall still happened no matter what.

Hi,

same effect here. What I get after ~30 seconds of freezing:

Code: Select all

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Script: chrome://noscript/content/RequestWatchdog.js:1303
This occurs on Firefox 13 as well on a just upgraded 14.0.1, NoScript Version 2.5.1

Welcome to the world of ever more crappified and unstable and crappy evolution of Firefox.
