I am using Firefox 45.0 with the NoScript plugin (version 2.9.0.11) and today I noticed that I cannot use certain links in Stack Overflow anymore. When I disable NoScript, the problem disappears. For example, clicking the Stack Exchange, Inbox and Achievements links in the header does not open the drop down menus anymore. Also I cannot add comments anymore by clicking the Add a comment link.

Did anyone encounter a similar problem and knows which setting in NoScript causes this problem?

  • You need JS to navigate SE sites. It's been like that for a while (I can't remember where I read it on SE, though) Commented Apr 14, 2016 at 20:54

    I allowed stackoverflow.com and it always used to work fine. But just noticed that sstatic.net was blocked. And allowing it solved the problem. No idea why it was blocked. Is it new? Commented Apr 14, 2016 at 21:07

  • See Which browsers are officially supported, and what else do I need?. It contains input for JavaScript whitelisting (e.g. for use in NoScript). Commented Apr 15, 2016 at 13:32

The problem was, that sstatic.net was blocked by NoScript. Allowing that page solved my problem. Thanks to rene for pointing me to the what else do I need paragraph of this answer:

  • Can you edit your profile with those settings? Or is quantserve.com also required? Commented Apr 15, 2016 at 13:35
  • I'm blocking quantserve.com and didn't notice any problems with that. Also managed to edit my profile a while ago. Commented Apr 15, 2016 at 13:39
