commit 8ff3b44e478ebddf5a067d796f57a353beae2af0 Author: Rusty Bird <rustybird@net-c.com> Date: Mon Sep 3 12:32:04 2018 +0000 Bug 27427: Fix NoScript IPC for about:blank by whitelisting messages If about:blank is the homepage (or has been passed as a command line parameter), NoScript will send a message named "fetchChildPolicy" _before_ "started". Torbutton would then send its "updateSettings" too soon, resulting in the dreaded error "Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist" (see bug 26520). Fix this by whitelisting the relevant messages from NoScript: "started" and also "pageshow" for a slightly more graceful failure mode in case Torbutton somehow misses NoScript startup. --- src/modules/noscript-control.js | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/modules/noscript-control.js b/src/modules/noscript-control.js index 66a00528..cd1a1237 100644 --- a/src/modules/noscript-control.js +++ b/src/modules/noscript-control.js @@ -125,8 +125,12 @@ var initialize = () => { // Wait for the first message from NoScript to arrive, and then // bind the security_slider pref to the NoScript settings. - let messageListener = (a,b,c) => { - log(3, `Message received from NoScript: ${JSON.stringify([a,b,c])}`); + let messageListener = (message,b,c) => { + log(3, `Message received from NoScript: ${JSON.stringify([message,b,c])}`); + if (message._messageName !== "started" && + message._messageName !== "pageshow") { + return; + } extensionContext.api.browser.runtime.onMessage.removeListener(messageListener); bindPrefAndInit( "extensions.torbutton.security_slider",
