[Solved] VATSIM Flightplan Prefile with Firefox and NoScript

[Joerg Dolgner]

Hi!

 

Using Firefox with the NoScript-Add-on I have had problems with a 3rd party application* filling the VATSIM flightplan prefile page since a few days.

 

* (in my case it was PFPX which was not able to fill the flightplan anymore - but maybe other applications would have the same issue)

 

But I was able to solve the problem. For those of you who encounter the same problem here is my solution:

 

First of all you might have noticed the NoScript UI vanishing from Firefox since the last update. To bring it back (you will need it!) please follow the instructions given here.

 

Thereafter follow these steps:

 

1. Click on the NoScript-icon => Options …
   
2. Tab "Advanced" => 2nd row tab "XSS" => Input field "Anti-XSS Protection Exceptions rules"
   
3. Add a new line as following and click OK - prefiling should work again now!

It should look somehow like this (screenshot from german version):
