NoScript 10.1.9.6 in Tor Browser 8 and / or Fx 60.1esr in Mint 18.1.
I think someone may have reported the problem of NS 10x in TBB not saving user adjusted settings on this forum a while back.
I still have the same issue. Except my mode settings aren't saved across sessions (not per site settings, which I think are deleted by design). And, I can't export NoScript 10 settings in TBB 8.0 Linux 64.
But I CAN export NS 10 settings in Firefox 60.1.
Are the exported settings files supposed to be .txt files - that's what it shows. The data looks like what's shown under NS settings > advanced> debug.
Code: Select all
{
"policy": {
"DEFAULT": {
"capabilities": [
"frame",
"font",
"media"
],
"temp": false
},
"TRUSTED": {
"capabilities": [
"script",
In the earlier TBB user's post here, Giorgio may have told them to contact Tor Project (not sure).
I'm sure he's busy, but I'd think that NS would be interested in why it may have a problem. It's not necessarily TorProject's bug, unless they agreed to troubleshoot / support all NS problems in TBB.
Since TBB 8 & NS 10, I can't play youtube videos, where I could using TBB 7.x with NS 5 - a few weeks ago.
It doesn't matter what I allow on youtube in NS. Before, in NS 5 - in TBB *OR* reg. Firefox, the only youtube scripts required were youtube.com, ytimg.com & googlevideo.com
It also won't export NS settings in TBB 8 for me, but works normally in Fx 60.1esr.
TBB - Clicking Export brings up the TBB standard "DOWNLOAD an external file" box, not the Save File box to enter a path or name the file.
If I click the Download button (just to see what happened), it may save the entire HTML page, but never shows the screen to select a location to save file. So there's no option to name the file or pick a path. Basically, Export Settings isn't working. That means manually re-tweaking the modes settings each TBB restart.
Could that be because TBB 8 >prefs >applications, content type - there's no Text or Plain Text entry under TBB's "how to handle file types." The TBB pref for saving files is "always ask."
BTW, which NS setting (e.g., object, other, etc) allows / blocks cookies, even though an exception for a site exists in Firefox?
In Firefox 60.1 esr & NS 10.1.9.6 if I can get a site to set cookies & login, I can't read the cookies in Prefs>Privacy - Manage Data. The cookie name is visible, but can't look at contents.
[Edit Sept 20] In Fx 52.9 & NS 5.1.8.7, setting cookies & viewing contents works. I think there's a problem w/ NS.
With NS 10 in TBB 8 - Linux, I can't even log in at trac.torproject to search for filed bugs or file some.
I read the NS 10 tutorials that were listed, but must've missed technical definitions of "other" or "object." Doesn't "fetch" involve pre-downloading certain files or data in advance of when it may be needed? If so, it may speed some pages loading, but possibly D/L some unwanted data?
There's more, but that's enough for now.
