Preventing keystrokes on gmail #8

Closed alpertt closed 10 years ago

alpertt commented 10 years ago

First i suspected "noscript" add-on, but it turns out that "u_a_o" is preventing keystrokes on gmail (not anywhere else.) Both when "reply" and "compose". CMD+V is also useless (no key is working).

I can only write to a text editor and paste from firefox' edit > paste. I had to disable it for that reason.

os: Mountain Lion 10.8.5 MBP 9.1 If you need any other info please feel free to ask.

It is not UAO's problem. It is the effect after User-Agent changed. For example, If you change the User-Agent to a mobile browser, gmail server will send the JavaScript files for the mobile browser, which maybe not have the shortcut feature.

So, you have to disable the extension when you are using gmail. If it not work, delete all the cookie for google.com then refresh, let Firefox re-download the properly Javascript files.

I know what happens when changed to mobile browsers. youtube changes to m.youtube, something like that... Thats not what i'm talking about, I fake to: windows > IE or Linux > chrome, and keys don't respond in gmail. I think thats different than you say. And one feature request :) : one click for disable the extension, for situations like that (without going into FFox > tools > extensions > disable.)

ps: sorry for my english, not my native language. Thanks for your good work, respect open source peace

The same. gmail will send the JavsScript file for IE, the code maybe not run correctly in Firefox. It you still in doubt, start a new Firefox profile, open about:config, change the general.useragent.override manually, to see if it reproduce. UAO just a GUI to change this entry, nothing more.

And one feature request :) : one click for disable the extension, for situations like that (without going into FFox > tools > extensions > disable.)

Already have, click the toolbar button, make it gray, then the User-Agent will revert back to Firefox default.
