Problem with Noscript and Zotero

amend58 · July 25, 2008

Opening a pdf attachment, but not a snapshot attachment either crashed firefox or resulted in a blank window. Disabling Noscript resolved the problem. Zotero 1.0.7, Noscript 1.7.7, Firefox 3.01 on Windows XP SP3.

Reporting on the chance that this report may help someone fix a similar situation.

Hi,
It shouldn't be necessary to disable NoScript altogether. Instead, you can add zotero://attachment to the NoScript whitelist (in NoScript's Options), and that should fix things.

Note that this only is an issue for PDF reader plugins that use javascript. I believe the Adobe PDF reader plugin does.

Great, this solution worked for me.
