Hello again. The problem seems to have disappeared! I don't know how it happened, but when this week (after weeks or months of failure) I discovered I could enter again in my account by disabling NS, I did, and then the following time I wanted to, 2 or 3 days later, instead of disabling it I simply allowed (first) 1 and (second) 3 or 4 scripts, and surprise I saw the login page instead of the warning.
Maybe I will delete this topic, but for the moment I think I will leave it for a little while if it can be useful for someone else or if the problem comes back.
Hello again. I was about to delete this topic like I had said, as the problem had disappeared and I thought it was maybe very specific and very rare, but it just came back, and a bit more complicated this time. I had just updated Firefox from 128.3esr to 128.3.1esr, so it surely came from this.
NS enabled, and main script allowed (...leboncoin.fr
):
NS disabled:
NS disabled + Tracking content
allowed:
[In about:preferences#privacy
, I had chosen Custom
and blocked/checked more or less maximum security choices, among them Tracking content
(In all windows
of course) was blocked.]
Tracking content
not blocked, it bothers me but I guess I will allow it when needed on this site...I still allow tracking content, an I re-enable NS with only the main script allowed:
...privacy-center
that I have to allow (I tried all the other ones even after having found this one, in case a second one would have the same behavior, I didn't think it could be but who knows).With then these 2 scripts allowed, I tried to block Tracking content
again, but no, filters didn't work, so conclusion I have to allow these 2 scripts PLUS allow Tracking content
.
The "search" thing was different from the login issue, which made me open this topic.
But now (surely because of FF update, like I said), the login issue had come back too, like the first time.
So I tried to login with NS enabled and all scripts allowed, and it didn't work, just like the first time, showing a message telling I had to allow javascript though I had allowed everything in NS.
Then I disabled NS (AND I blocked again Tracking content
as maybe it is needed for search options but not for login), and yes I could then login.
So I logged off, and re-enabled NS, and allowed only the main script and Tracking content still blocked, and I saw the login still worked, so having logged 1 time without NS had unblocked the situation for login with NS, like the firs time.
About Tracking content
, blocking it still didn't prevent from login, but still prevented from using filters in the search, even with NS disabled.
I had noted a site in english which seemed to have the same behavior. I should find it later in notes. Maybe my case is more general than I thought. A troubleshooting when a problem with NS comes on one site could be to disable NS, do what one wanted to do, and re-enabling NS can show the problem has disappeared (???).
Hello! I am under Lubuntu 22.04 OS, and NoScript seems to cause a problem in Firefox ESR 128.
The problem.
As a french user, I am registered on Leboncoin.fr, which is the main french classifieds site (a french eBay one could say). I don't remember very well, but I think that maybe 2 or 3 years, or a few months ago, I could log on this site normally. "Today", after long time not using it, I saw I couldn't. A LBC page shows a warning saying "Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker". So I allow temporarily 1 or 2 scripts in NoScript, and this warning disappears. So I click on "Se connecter" (means "Connexion"), but then site tells me things like "you have been blocked". It can tell it right away, or after having given me a CAPTCHA...
My small tests and understanding.
So I have done several small tests (as I have a low computing level).
I also have 1 or 2 other privacy/security addons, uBlock Origin and LocalCDN in ESR, they don't seem to cause a problem, uBO can be used to replace NS I've heard, but I did'nt find yet how to achieve this. (On Snap version, I have uBO with different lists and 2 or 3 different privacy/security addons.) I put the settings in about:preferences#privacy at rather high choice too.
Conclusion for what I will do to use this site though.
So what I see for now, is that the simple fact to have NS enabled (even allowing every script of the site where there is a problem) prevents me from login on LBC in ESR. (And it possibly blocks things on other sites I jsut didn't come across I imagine.) I feel that I am maybe a very rare case, and the problem could be there because I have inherited of certain ancient NS settings or features, that could come from years ago, as I have migrated my /home directory between 2 or more OS, an ancient one being even in 32 bits.
My personnal choice could be simply to use the Snap FF, but my current session, with all the tabs I am interested in, is in the ESR, and I don't have enough RAM to open these 2 browsers at the same time. But yet maybe I will, use the Snap FF. I don't really want either to migrate my ESR session to the Snap version. Or continue using the ESR, and disabling NS when I am on LBC, but I wouldn't really like it. I could hope a fix for this but I don't have a big hope it will happen. I could also try to learn how to use uBO like NS.
Thank you!...
