all three cases I was able to log in to lang-8. So NoScript is not the
problem alone.
Yes, this matches what I have observed. I can log in to Lang-8 using
Debian's version of Firefox ("Iceweasel") + NoScript.
So the problem lies either with the interaction between Tor Browser and
NoScript, or with the specific NoScript config shipped with Tor Browser.
A temporary workaround for people who want to use Lang-8 via Tor Browser
is to use a separate Tor Browser installation, with the NoScript extension
disabled, only for logging into Lang-8, and to use one's normal,
unmodified Tor Browser installation for everything else. Obviously this is
not an ideal solution.
