When using "NoScript", sometimes I am redirected to "enable-javascript."

Firefox Troubleshooting

When loading an unknown site, I like having the option to check its individual scripts, with NoScript's "security and privacy" link, before unblocking. But now, about 3 seconds AFTER the site's home page pops up, I am sometimes redirected to "enable-javascript so I can't check that new web site's safety- any ideas?? (This is NOT a small pop-up on the home page, leaving the option open) I DO have javascript on my computer, and I think you no longer support it, but I use it with crappy explorer to go on the pogo.com game site. For everything else, I am a HUGE firefox fan.

You would have to take this issue the NoScript extension to their support website since this is an issue with that extension.

That's inconvenient. Usually sites show their own message or page about JavaScript not being enabled.

I'm not sure how they are doing that if scripts are disabled. If you try the site again but repeatedly tap the Esc key to try to cancel any redirection, can you get a better look at it?

Another way to get some idea of what the site is about is to view it in a search engine cache. There's usually a link or menu item on the result to view a cached version of the page.
