Maybe that FF + noscript is flawed ???
Please stop fishing for trouble.
@DavidR
Thanks for the offer to help - it’s nsandi.com (I’m not keen on full links - you never know what sort of place they get you to - hence my use of linkextend).
To get to the problem though you’d have to first set up an account, log in, then try to add money to your account by debit card - so don’t feel obliged! The problem is that the mastercard secure/VbyV authorisation page never appears after entry of card details.
It works fine on IE8 - it’s just a shame that there isn’t a Noscript for IE (and the linkextend add-on for IE isn’t much good). I have reported the problem to NS+I (who didn’t really seem to believe it).
@YoKenny
Thanks, but it happens with Noscript disabled too. I have read of Noscript reloading of pages after permissions are changed causing card service sites to fail though.
Well I have been able to use the “mastercard secure/VbyV authorisation page” in the course of on-line shopping at a number of sites without problem, so I don’t know if this is specific to that site only.
Has it ever worked on this site ?
Have you ever used it (mastercard secure/VbyV authorisation) in another on-line shopping site where it worked ?
You’re right setting up an account to test it is a step too far for me ;D
Do you also use any other security based add-ons in firefox ?
I also use RequestPolicy, prevents cross site scripting and that can get in the way at times so for on=line shopping sites, etc. I have to watch where they are trying to connect to and authorise only those required for shopping and processing, not adverts and google-analyetics, etc. etc.
Have you tried reporting it to the site, that doesn’t work with firefox as it represents over 20% with some reporting around 24% depending on whose stats you use and if it is geographical for UK. So a good deal of their customers/potential customers could be using it.
mastercard secure/VbyV authorisation page works fine for me too with FF in every other site that needs it.
The only other browser security app I have had is Trusteer Rapport - but I have that in IE too.
I have reported the problem to the site a few months ago. No change as of today.
Using IE8 for this one site isn’t really a problem.
(I am trying out RequestPolicy now - looks like a good addition to browser security/privacy.)
Certainly seems site specific, probably using proprietary code that doesn’t comply with standards.
It is a useful add-on, but it as I said can be a pain when using on-line shopping and banking, as they have many legitimate cross site scripting requests. The difficult part is knowing what is legitimate and what even though legit isn’t required, e.g. those that tracks (google-analytics) or are used to deliver adverts.
Something else I’ve noticed about IE9 - AIS script shield hasn’t scanned a single item since I started playing with it (32bit). Web shield seems OK though.
