I am trying to use the website [http://lang-8.com Lang-8] (a social
networking site for language learning) with tor browser. I can create an
account but I cannot log in. Whenever I enter my user name and password on
the lang-8 login page, I am redirected back to the welcome page of the
site and I do not appear to be logged in.
I do not get any kind of error message, so I don't think that the site is
deliberately blocking tor.
I have tried both Tor Browser version 3.6.6 and 4.0-alpha-3; the problem
occurs with both versions.
First I thought that maybe https-everywhere is to blame, but disabling it
does not solve the problem.
After some experimentation, I discovered that if I disable the NoScript
extension in Tor Browser (via the Addons menu item in Firefox), I can log
in to lang-8 successfully. So it seems that NoScript is causing the
problem.
Of course, turning off NoScript is not a viable long-term solution. I
tried turning on NoScript again, but adding a regexp matching lang-8 urls
to the NoScript XSS protection whitelist, but this didn't help.
