Firefox NoScript Bug - Can't Vote
posted by HaricotVert 1 year 2 months 1 week ago • 175 views
I recently ran into a problem with running the Firefox add-on "NoScript" (which I run as a precaution against potentially malicious sites). I have never had a problem with this before, since I simply listed videosift.com as a "trusted" site (and thus all videosift scripts were allowed to run).

I do not know if anything was changed in the scripts regarding upvoting/downvoting, since the latest NoScript version was released before the problem started (about 2 days ago - as you can see I was able to post a video to the queue and self-vote for it). But in order to upvote or downvote anything I have to fully disable the NoScript add-on, at which point I am able to upvote and downvote normally.

Anyone else run into this problem, or have an inkling of the script changes to upvoting/downvoting? I've tried reinstalling NoScript as well as clearing my cache and cookies, but the only thing that works is disabling the add-on entirely.

Thanks in advance everyone!

I'm using NoScript with no problems. Are you using the latest version of Firefox 2 (2.0.0.5)?

Have you installed a recent add-on? If so it might be conflicting with NoScript. Also you can try perusing http://noscript.net/ and maybe emailing the author for support.

That was happening to me, too, with the latest NoScript on FF 2.0.0.5. I had recently installed some Greasemonkey scripts for MetaFilter as well as leetkey. I found that uninstalling leetkey worked for me, so try dumping some of your other add-ons and see what happens.
