NoScript issue: Can ONLY press allow all/temp.

Post by ziraxus »

Hey

For a few days now, I've not been able to select individual websites to allow.

I've only been able to temp allow all from each website, or globally allow all. Not being able to address each individual script.

Why is this?

As you can see on this picture.

In NoScript Options > Appearance, is at least one of "Base 2nd level Domains", "Full Domains", and "Full Addresses" checked?

If yes...

Please create a clean profile from scratch. Install only NoScript latest development build, leaving all the defaults.
Does the problem still exist?
If not, what if you then import your NS settings into the clean profile using the Import and Export buttons *on the very bottom* of NS Options?
If that still doesn't reproduce the problem, go back to your main profile and try Standard Diagnostic (leaving NS enabled) to isolate and correct the real cause.

Let us know, thanks.

Same issue here.

I found out that it works again if I set ef.enabled to false.

Code: Select all

"ef.enabled":false,
I don't know what ef.enabled means and where I can find it within settings. I've done an export, changed the value and imported it again.

I checked the NoScript code, it looks like this pref is related to the old and mostly dead "external filters" feature. This stuff was removed from settings some years ago.

You could also just go to about:config, find "noscript.ef.enabled", and right-click it > Reset.

Creating a new profile did indeed work.

Thanks :)

You're welcome. Image

How did the rest of the troubleshooting steps go? Or are you saying you consider the new profile a solution for you?

I also did it with a clean profile. Then as I saw that it works, I exported the settings.

Now I imported this settings into my original profile I'm working with.

As I saw it also works in my working profile I restored my old settings.

Now I compared the two exported files with the diff view in my editor PSPad. It helped me to alphabeticaly sort the settings in my export files.

Now step by step I change my settings to the working ones beginning by the suspicious ones.

Done a lot of backups as I don't want to lose my original settings.
