commit 6016a170f0266cf926b7ff305796ba83cc353536 Author: Rusty Bird rustybird@net-c.com Date: Fri Sep 14 13:05:08 2018 +0000

Bug 27760: 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 | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+)
