The "Firefox links" sticky is overdue for an update

https://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?t=2557 Most of the links in this sticky contain very outdated information that no longer applies to anything current. The concept of having a "Firefox links: help yourself" type sticky still seems useful, so could we please re-evaluate what lin...

Re: Contextual permissions UI could be more intuitive to new users

4) In "General" there are now three tabs: DEFAULT, etc. After these three tabs, add a row with three radio buttons: "ANY SITE inherits DEFAULT or TRUSTED or UNTRUSTED policy by default". Currently, new "ANY SITE" permissions inherit whichever preset was last selected. ...

Contextual permissions UI could be more intuitive to new users

Spun off from https://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?p=107943#p107943 - Changing the selection in the drop-down does not make any changes to any permissions. It's more like switching between different tabs (like in NoScript Options > General > (Default/Trusted/Untrusted) tabs) Writing that ma...

Re: Using the Custom selector

The way it should work is: 1) start at https://www.google.com/ 2) NoScript popup > set ...google.com to CUSTOM 3) set "Enable these capabilities when top page matches" to "ANY SITE", and set the shown permissions to what you want for most sites 4) set "Enable these capabilit...

Re: Complete readout of blocked/unblocked items on page

There are times, especially on etail sites, where I have to disable noScript entirely because whatever service the webpage is calling in the background is being blocked invisibly. "Disable restrictions for this tab" and even "Disable restrictions globally (dangerous)" don't work...

Re: How to manually suspend Firefox extension's background script?

Back to the original subject of this thread, digging through Firefox source code turned up something interesting: manually requesting immediate suspend of the background script. Turns out that in about:debugging, for Temporary extensions , there is a button to "Terminate background script"...

Re: How to manually suspend Firefox extension's background script?

What's worse is that now in order to inject user-scripts into the page, you have to put it in developer mode, I wasn't aware Firefox had a "developer mode" that could be put on and off? Although the Firefox builds I use have Firefox Developer Edition stuff enabled at build time, so maybe ...

enabling a settings sync feature could help prevent this issue in the future. Oh dear, what a reckless suggestion. If you're going to try to help people, please first actually know what you're talking about. Enabling Sync is known to CAUSE the same outcome as this issue for some people. And a NoScr...

Re: block the telemetry check of Adobe apps

Looks like that huge list just boils down to blocking these two domains + their subdomains? -

I recently started using this feature but I've run into a problem where the single domain set under custom reverts to 'any site'. I haven't been able to pin down a specific cause or timing of when that happens. Any idea how to keep that from happening? That is not a setting, it's a selector for whi...
