Hi, I'm a very grateful, long term user of NoScript.
I recently noticed something which concerned me.
I keep most of Google on TEMPORARY Permissions - given the amount of snooping that they do! While their obvious snooping sites are "Untrusted"!
I've been using Firefox's "Forget about some Browsing History" quite a lot, and I ASSUMED that this was revoking Temporary Permissions. I would certainly WANT IT TO!
However I just noticed going from one site which required some Google Scripts, followed by a "Forget about some Browsing History" then going to another site, that I found also required some Google Scripts - that the Temporary Permissions had NOT been revoked!
I find this to be a potential Security/Privacy danger!
Google can follow and track me from the one site to the next.....
To prevent Google and others doing this is precisely the reason why I've been using "Forget about some Browsing History"!
I would like to suggest - if it is possible - that there be a setting to get NoScript to Forget Temporary Permissions, when a user "Forgets about some Browsing History".
It MAY BE that some users won't want that behaviour - so I'd suggest that it is a setting that users can turn on/off as they wish!
Until I'm confident that I can rely on Temporary Permissions being revoked, I will return to CLOSING DOWN Firefox and re-starting it BEFORE and AFTER going to my Bank and doing anything financial etc...
EDIT:- I note that NoScript does have a "Revoke Temporary Permissions" button.
I've never used that - in the past I always would CLOSE Firefox before and after anything money/privacy. So it wasn't necessary!
What I'm asking is to activate that automatically with Firefox's "Forget about some browsing History". This would save two button presses and be BETTER if it's possible. Without this I reckon Friefox's "Forget about some Browsing History" is USELESS!
Regards Greg
P.S. - Probably needless to say I ALSO use "Multi Account Containers" to keep actual Google Sites "Penned In". However their scripts on other sites, get them IN even to other "Containers".
HEY! - I'd prefer if ALL financial transactions of any kind on the web were completely free of third party ANYTHING! But since that isn't so...

Re: Forget about some Browsing History
Sorry but that style of writing is really hard to read. Let me try to summarize what you're requesting:
When user does right-click > "Forget about this site" on a website in Firefox history, NoScript should optionally also revoke temporary permissions that were set on that site.
Is this correct?

*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
