Does Disabling XSS Require Restart?

Post by therube »

Does Disabling XSS features Require a browser Restart?
Options | Advanced -> XSS, uncheck

I suppose it does.

My guess is "no". Have you had trouble with it?

Open a new window & try again.
Same results.

that's not the xss filter
to disable that protection: about:config -> toggle noscript.inclusionTypeChecking ?

you can "fix" that specific site by adding

Code: Select all

https://cogprogramming.googlecode.com/files/
to noscript.inclusionTypeChecking.exceptions (i'm assuming you know the implications of doing that and why fix is in quotes ;) )

and a quick test with 0.0.0.0 indicates that disable xss does not require browser restart
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
