Editorial history is loading forever (Firefox adblock plus)

Zwobot · November 4, 2019, 3:45pm

The Editorial history dialog doesn’t load and shows only the loading spinner.

This problem occurs only when using Firefox and the Adblock plus addon.
I know it’s not caused by OJS but it might confuse other users too.

Version 3.1.2.1.

Hi, One of our journal editors noticed that when he had the uBlock Origin bro…wser plugin enabled some of the features in OJS 3.0.2. stopped working. For example when trying to view the editorial history page for a submission the content of the modal window kept on loading. I was first convinced that some error was causing this, but it turned out that simply disabling the browser plugin the editoria history page loaded without problems. Probably uBlock Origin filters are catching something in the code that they consider to be an ad? I am using Adblock Plus and have not encountered anything similar.
