NoScript interfering with Yahoo.com login

Open WmRTaylor opened this issue 4 months ago • 3 comments

This unusual problem started this past Thursday, Aug. 21. While trying to login to Yahoo email the site gives me an error, "This account cannot be accessed right now / No recovery options available". BUT, if I disable NoScript (specifically "Disable restrictions for this tab") I can login normally, and renable NoScript afterwards.

Yahoo wasn't any help as their only suggestion is to disable NoScript for logins.

Has this ever happened before? Maybe there's a hidden site/setting that needs to be trusted to login without disabling NoScript?

  1. Are you on Firefox or on Chromium?
  2. Is yahoo.com marked as TRUSTED?
  3. Did you remove any capability from your TRUSTED preset (they should all be enabled in NoScript Options>General>Preset customization)?

I'm using Firfox (142.0 (64-bit)). Yahoo is TRUSTED, but in NoScript's preset customization "script" is not checked and it's not letting me check it; I get a "no" or "not available" cursor when I mouse over it.

script is checked, there's a grayed-out checkmark in TRUSTED "Preset customization (for all the sites sharing a preset)"
