NoScript (Firefox extension) Forum users might wish to hold off updating to 2.9.0.5

The 2.9.0.5 update to NoScript introduced some changes to the anti-xss cross site scripting protection.

This has resulting in the “redirection shuffle” that forums.opensuse.org performs at log-in as being flagged as “suspicious” by NoScript.

My attempts at creating an exception rule for NoScript have so far failed… I’m just not “geeky” enough I guess.

The following errors occurred with your submission
You must select a thread prefix.

There should really be a thread prefix “All” or “Not Applicable”)

In the mean time, it is possible to choose a "load it even if it looks dangerous " (or something like that) from the menu button at right.

I’m still at 2.9.0.2 with noscript. It updates too often for me to bother trying to keep up.

Recently, I have been using “konqueror” for the forum.

Issue fixed with the upcoming 2.9.0.6 release of NoScript.

Release candidate is here if anyone wants it:

I’m currently using that release with no apparent problems…

Thanks for the info.

Thanks. I’ll wait for that one before I update my older version.

Just saw your reply to gogalthorp Can't log into forum with Fire Fox - Applications - openSUSE Forums (you must type faster than me…)

which reminded me…

The 2.9.0.6 version is up at AMO now… from posts on the NoScript forum it seems a lot of sites were flagging false positives.
