Browser info tester site not working

Post by Anonymosity »

Why does the Browser info tester bookmark not work with SeaMonkey 2.31? It used to work with all my browsers: Firefox, Opera (older, Presto engine), Safari,
and SeaMonkey (before this version). I think it has binary code in place of a location.
The bookmark:

Any background to what this is, where it's from, what it does? I'm not a big fan of clicking on encrypted bookmarklets.
Tip of the day: If it has "toolbar" in the name, it's crap.

Anonymosity, can that be broken up so it doesn't kill the forum format?

Code: Select all

<html><body><script>var info='Browser Information:<br>';
for(var prop in navigator){if(typeof navigator[prop] != 'function' && typeof navigator[prop] != 'object') info+=prop+': '+navigator[prop]+'<br>'};
document.open();document.write(info);document.close();</script></body></html>

Maybe it has to do with the new "fast urlbar search" (or whatever that deal was)?

Or that you can't paste javascript: URI into the urlbar (in FF)?

(Yes, I'm shooting blindly.)
[Oh, & then I'm forgetting what forum I'm in, as SeaMonkey & FF work differently in that respect.]

Do you mean that the bookmark is essentially a for-next loop or an if-then statement? It is not a bookmarklet. It is not using javascript the way a bookmarklet does. I took it to be binary code. What it is supposed to do is give information about the user-agent, and other aspects of the browser's request header. With SM 2.31, it does nothing but produce a blank page. It still works with FF 24.8.1esr, with Safari, and with older Opera. The output I get from Firefox is this:

therube,
I gather that your code was a translation of what the bookmark does? It works in Firefox and Safari, but not in SeaMonkey 2.31.

Have you enabled javascript to run in the urlbar?

I mean it contains this

Code: Select all

for(var prop in navigator)

which is valid code but it's completely broken in SM >= 2.31 (throws an error) and has been since 2.31 was Nightly.

It's not "binary code" but itself an entire HTML document (base64-encoded). That HTML document has a script tag.

therube posted the base64-decoded HTML of the bookmark.

patrickjdempsey wrote:Have you enabled javascript to run in the urlbar?

Doesn't matter what the code is part of or whether URL bar JS is allowed, this bookmark's JS is not going to work in SeaMonkey 2.31 because enumerating the content window navigator object is broken.
If you're thinking that's needed because the bug report says to toggle noscript.allowURLBarJS, those are just instructions for one way to reproduce, but it's not the only way.
(Actually the way I discovered that bug was noticing that my personal SeaMonkey port of Fx 15's Web Console wasn't offering completion suggestions when I type "window.navigator.".)

What do you mean? I have javascript enabled. Is there some special setting now to allow it to run in the URLbar? If so, why do bookmarklets work right now?

What barbaz is saying is that there is a bug.
You (your bookmarklet) is affected by that bug.

You can run an instance of SeaMonkey 2.30 & verify it works.
And you can run an instance of SeaMonkey 2.31 & see that it does not work.

If working, you should get something like:

Code: Select all

Browser Information:
doNotTrack: unspecified
oscpu: Windows NT 5.1
vendor:
vendorSub:
productSub: 20100101
cookieEnabled: true
buildID: 20141013232806

Thanks for the info. I can still get information about my user-agent from at least 4 other websites, so not a huge calamity.
