I have setup NS to allow scripts globally. I've also changed a few other settings. Normally when I hover over the icon in the toolbar it displays the text "Danger! Scripts Globally Allowed". But for certain sites (e.g. britannica.com) the text is "allowed.glb-emb" and the icon looks slightly different. What does it mean and is this a bug?
Firefox 36.0, NS 2.6.9.15 and other extensions.

Re: allowed.glb-emb?
Could you please show me a screenshot?

It seems like this happens when OBJECT is 1 or greater.

Re: allowed.glb-emb?
That icon suggests that you have enabled "Options-Embeddings-Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too", so you're allowing all JavaScript but blocking objects.
The text seems wrong, though, and I can reproduce it.

Hmm, I wonder if this isn't just that a localization related entity isn't excaped properly? Like it's missing its leading & and trailing ; maybe?
(I know nothing of how localization works, just that I've seen similar looking strings to identify localized strings in other addons I've modified.)

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

Nope, the localization item was just missing from noscript.properties.barbaz wrote:Hmm, I wonder if this isn't just that a localization related entity isn't excaped properly? Like it's missing its leading & and trailing ; maybe?
I'm adding it in next release, should read "Scripts Globally Allowed but Some Embeddings Blocked".
