Umm...why is Firefox telling me that I'm being clickjacked?

Post by Zero Gunner »

So I was just posting a response in another thread and from post response page I scrolled down to CTRL+C copy some text from another post to paste into my comments. I'm using Firefox/NoScript and it immediately brought up a warning that the site was attempting to click-jack me. What's going on?

That's nothing. ESET NOD32 disagrees with my homepage, as NOD32 thinks there's a trojan downloader (Small.NAT) on that page. Amusingly, when I add an exception to NOD to test, I find that the original problem appears to involve some kind of JavaScript file coming from Google Analytics. :p

Which is funny, as the only thing on that page is a "coming soon" placeholder Flash movie...

Ok...I've actually never even see the click-jacking warning before, on any site. So I was surprised to see it on a site that I thought was reputable.

The click-jack protection was recently added to NoScript, which might explain why you haven't seen it earlier. I'm not sure what it was objecting to in your case, though.
