noscript breaks firefox 3.0.8 for some sites?

Asked by Catherine Adamson

Just installed addons Adblock Plus and Noscript for Firefox 3.0.8 in Ubuntu. Not certain that problem began immediately after install, but had no problems before. It looks like I can't load any page using more scripts, i.e "standard view" Gmail, Facebook. Tried whitelisting these sites for noScript without effect. Disabled Noscript with no effect, then Adblock, but to no avail. Uninstalled firefox, then reinstalled, but still these sites will not come up.

On attempting to open gmail, for instance, the page with the "loadbar" simply sits there, the status bar says done, and nothing happens. Error console lists a mess of errors including "bad selector", "unknown property 'word-wrap'", "error in parsing value for property 'text-align', declaration dropped" and "expected declaration but found '*'".

Page loads fine in html only mode.

Well, the noScript addon block all javascript, so if a site requires javascript (like gmail) it won't work.

If after disabling noScript the sites don't load properly, check that you have javascript enables (Edit -> Preferences -> Content). If this still does not work, then delete or rename the firefox preferences folder, it is located in your home folder with the name .mozilla, then start firefox and all should be normal.
