Comment (by gk): Replying to [comment:20 mcs]: > Replying to [comment:19 gk]: > > Alright, I think I have figured out all the pieces involved. The problem starts with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1321528 being fixed in https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla- beta/rev/1c4863a4ff98 AND NoScript 2.9.5.2rc3 (commit 9eab569b1d443456325e2b253f2cca65eb453c30 in the git repo at https://github.com/avian2/noscript). The whole suspend/resume mechanism got introduced there to fix the mediasource blocking for us. ;) > > Interesting. NoScript's role is confusing to me. Are you saying that NoScript relies on the fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1321528 and that the same Mozilla fix causes this bug? No, NoScript does not rely on the fix. But it does channel suspense/resumse things starting with 2.9.5 (and the fixup in 2.9.5.2rc3) which is causing the problems. The Mozilla bugfix is the necessery bit on Mozilla's side to trigger the problem: if either that or Noscript is missing (or NoScript before 2.9.5.2rc3 is installed) the problem in this bug goes away. > > While I don't have assembled all of the pieces to a coherent picture yet, the proposed attached fix seems to be a good idea to me. mcs/brade: That one works across different platforms, right? If so, do you think you want to propose that one for review? > > No, the fix we proposed does not work on Linux (at least not for us). See comment:16. Well, that's not the same as in the attachment which is why I was asking. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/21886#comment:21> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
