Thank you Hans!

, I knew it! Have to see if there is some Fx/Fx config-aficionado, that can help troubleshoot.

At the moment I’m running Fx 2.0.0.5 and NoScript 1.1.6.07. I know, I know, there is a later NoScript. It’s updated often. But I’ve had some odd, small problem with that update process (or more correct the extension update process when run automatically at Fx start time, not when running search for updates).

After a complete, clean install of Fx 2.0.0.4 some weeks ago (after a little cleaning), I installed whatever NoScript ver. was around. Then, as we know, Fx can search for updates (have had no problem with this before), either when running or it can happen when you start Fx it tells that there is a new version of Fx, or in my case an extension.

After the first install mentioned, I got such a prompt some days later at Fx start, chose to install the updated extension, but version number didn’t correspond (i.e. correct ver. nr. at icon down right, but the old ver. nr. in Tools > Extensions). Selected search in Extension dialog and downloaded/installed again, restarted Fx, and it worked, showed correct version.

Then this happened once again some days ago, seems like the dowload/install at start of Fx has some problems. I.e. I got a non-corresponding version info. Even if I closed Fx and reopened. OTOH this was “introduced” sometime around NoScript 1.1.6.X, didn’t see it at 1.1.5 or before.

Also this “download at start” seems to bring back “last session”, i.e. closed tabs under History, odd since Fx normally purges that when closing. This time I uninstalled NoScript, restarted Fx and went to addons.mozilla.org, and did a “clean” download/install of ver. 1.1.6.07.

BTW, I am normally not so much into this extension thing, but thanks to a tip from jscher2000, I’m a happy user of NoScript.

It works! It works! Where is that ultra-happy smiley?

After doing some other business on the net this morning I went to do a post in the Lounge, then I found I could not bring up the TagPanel in the “Make a New Post”-page. What! Yep, JavaScript. We are not amused! Since I knew NoScript 1.1.6.08 was out, I logged out, closed Fx, restarted Fx and did a scan for extensions (1.1.6.08 was already there as a new update, but did a scan anyway), downloaded/installed NoScript1.1.6.08, just to be told by the author that 1.1.6.11 is out. No thank you, not yet. Restarted Fx again and went to the Lounge, now the links work in my post, and also Oscar [the cat].

Shall we blame NoScript? Well, a lot better than blaming the Lounge or me.

Hi Al,
Thanks, even if it’s bad news for me.

Actually what I did check before was; Tools > Settings > Tabs, and confirmed that the setting was indeed “new tab”, then selected OK. That is, I didn’t try to change it, then change back, only confirmed with an OK click.

Just tested, it doesn’t work, my normal luck. If I change the setting to “new window”, that works OK, it opens the link in a new window. But if I change it back to “new tab”, it doesn’t work, it will open the link in the present tab.

Arrrggggh, the Lounge is so slow at the moment. Oh, look a hole in space-time, it’s working again, let’s post.
