NoScript HTTPS-only mode breaks sites & add-ons

[rugk]

As it has been suggested some time ago by @barbaz I currently use NoScript and allow all HTTPS scripts via "NoScript Options > Advanced > HTTPS > Permissions".

However I noticed that it breaks some websites and add-ons. Currently I can list see that it breaks Firefox' now test pilot experiment min-vid: https://github.com/meandavejustice/min-vid/issues/342

I may list other add-ons/websites here if I can confirm that this NoScript mode breaks them.

What is the URL with that video?

You can use any YouTube or Vimeo video with vid min.

Thanks.

How did you install it?
I went to https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments/min-vid, Allowed firefox.com, clicked Install the add-on, and it just gets stuck at the animated stripes saying "Installing". Nothing happens. Is that the wrong way to do it?

Enable Min Vid worked here (FF 49), clicking the 'Enable Min Vid' button (after having installed "test pilot" (a car?).

Extension itself is nothing but crap, IMHO.
At first I couldn't even get a[ny] Youtube clip to play. Don't know if that was because of "test pilot", "min vid", or just some settings on my end? And once I finally got "min" to work, its like big woop.

It is beta. And it's for testing. Your installation steps were right, if you still have issues report it here: https://github.com/mozilla/testpilot

And that it does not work could be because of the NoScript setting.
So first try it without NoScript, then install NoScript and then try to reproduce the issue. I just confirmed that I can still reproduce it.
