I am user of the latest build of Noscript with Mozilla Minefield, the latest build as of today
I have installed BlueCoat K9 Web Protection and have blocked some categories like porn, hacking sites, social networking sites etc
Whenever I visit Facebook.com I get a ABE warning and I cannot see the K9 Web Protection page that usually comes in place of the blocked site
Please fix this

It cannot be "fixed" without seeing the ABE warning.

Should I write the ruleset under system or user?
I didn't have this problem with the previous version of NoScript

When I wrote this under the SYSTEM
K9 Web Protection is being overridden
I can access Facebook even though I have blocked it with K-9 Web Protection

That's not possible, unless something changed recently in this K9 thing as well.
The warning message says K9 tries to open a local site from facebook.com (it's a forced redirection, I guess), therefore ABE's anti-Crosszone protection kicks in.

That's absolutely weird. Does this problem persist also if you disable ABE?

This problem went away after I disabled ABE and restarted Mozilla Minefield

I would advise you to download K9 Web Protection and use its default protection and try NoScript
So, that people like me will have an easier life using NoScript
