Inconsistent clicking / opening behavior

[ReporterX]

1. When you middlie click or shift+click on a site in the premission context menu, it will open up "Security and Privacy Info" page of that website.
But I will jump immediately when I middle-click.
The default Firefox behavior is it just open the link in a new tab when you middle click, but you will still stay in the current tab.
I hope the behavior is more consistent and intuitive.
Is it possible not to jump when middle click? Configurable?


2. In the "Security and Privacy Info" page
If I simply (left) click the link, I hope I could stay in the same page, instead of opening in a new tab.
If I want to open in a new tab, I will middle click.
But Noscript forces me to jump even if I don't want to.

Let's say I have to research 4 third-party sites which are called from the target website.
I need to check 2 pages to determine if I should whitelist/untrust it.
It means I will have 12 tabs opened which are many.
I don't want that. Even if you close them all later, some memory will be held back.
And it is just a research of one site only. I browse different websites every day (for work and so on). My browser has to restart more frequently.

I want to keep 1 tab per site, and I move forward/back in the same tab to check different sources.


3. Untrusted permission menu is not sticky.
In other words, you can't select multiple domains as untrusted in one go.
Is it possible to make sub-menus sticky too?

UPDATE: I think I found a bug.
It is still sticky if the icon is in Add-On bar.
But if you move the toolbar icon to any other toolbars except Add-On Bar, the sub-menus is no longer sticky.


Thanks a lot.

3) The Untrusted menu is sticky here...

Yup, I use the status bar icon in SeaMonkey normally, but if I use the toolbar icon on the bookmarks toolbar, the Untrusted menu is indeed not sticky. So it looks like it's a difference between the right-way-up menu and upside-down menu.

(I wish there were a way to force the menu order no matter the icon placement.)

Same wish to me too.

I put it just beside the address bar. It takes the least time to access it.

I may put it back to the addon bar until the bug is fixed.

Ran into this topic in my subscription list, and tried to "fix" the quoted point with a surrogate script:

Code: Select all

noscript.surrogate.iasiteinfo.replacement : window.addEventListener('load', function(){for (let e of document.querySelectorAll('#resources a[target="_blank"]')) {e.removeAttribute("target");}}, false);
noscript.surrogate.iasiteinfo.sources : !@.noscript.net/about/*

But for some reason, testing with informaction.com (Allowed here) that surrogate disables the permission buttons on the info page?

(Ah, not caused by the surrogate at all, but the fact that when I reload to test, it's not NoScript loading the page but the browser.)

@ReporterX: Anyway hope the surrogate helps

Oh great! Brilliant!
It does exactly what I want.
Thanks a lot.
