Juliet Posted August 15, 2017 ID:1153733 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I'm trying to follow topics in malware removal. Not a problem till I try to open an attached txt file. I don't know if it's a permissions issue (not had them before) or if it's since an update from Firefox that I've been shut out. I'll post a screen shot of what it looks like.

Firefox Posted August 18, 2017 ID:1154945 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) Which topic and file are you trying to download? What is the default viewer for TXT files on your computer? A trustee source (which should remain anonymous) mentioned that this is due to the forum upgrade and NoScript add-on in Firefox. You would have to click to allow the "unsafe reload" in order to view the attached log files. Another option would be to save the file first and use notepad to open the log files.

Juliet Posted August 18, 2017 Author ID:1155058 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Heres the topic I was following any txt I try to open displays the error page. Firefox is my default browser. good reading about <click to allow the "unsafe reload" in order to view the attached log files. > I tried to right click and save the .txt file to desktop, open with notepad and it surprisingly open with the same error, just my luck. It's strange tho, I had allowed/disabled all with NoScript before trying to do any of the above. Let me add, I just now tried using IE, all .txt's opened and displayed as they should.

Firefox Posted August 24, 2017 ID:1156718 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Could be some addon in your Firefox that is causing it.... Have you tried resetting your Firefox browser back to defaults? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliet Posted August 25, 2017 Author ID:1156841 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I haven't yet but it is in the plan of things to do. I feel the issue is related to NoScript, was hoping they would have an update soon that would fix it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted August 25, 2017 ID:1157007 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yes it most likely is related to NoScript and an update would be nice... let us know how your testing with resetting the browser goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliet Posted August 25, 2017 Author ID:1157091 Share Posted August 25, 2017 OK Have reset the browser No add ons or extensions When trying to open an attachment in txt, it works as it should. I'm going to apply NoScript again, as an experiment, and see if it is something I will have to leave off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliet Posted August 25, 2017 Author ID:1157114 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) I guess I blew the experiment......grrrr OK Have installed NoScript, it blocks txt's from opening and displays the same error page I hate that too. I always felt protected by having NoScript on my laptop. Since resetting the browser I have 3 instances of Firefox running at the same time in task manager? I also seem to have lost malware search ad-on and can't get that back, says not compatible with this version of Firefox. I use this add on daily! Can someone recommend a different ad-on that works like this one (malware search add-on)? Edited August 27, 2017 by Juliet typo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliet Posted August 25, 2017 Author ID:1157124 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Yes, I've seen that. And Aura is smarter then me too! I think it takes a very special person to work as hard as that and keep going no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
