If you're experiencing this in a Private Browsing Mode (AKA Incognito) window, that's working as intended (not to leave unintended permanent traces of your navigation on disk, per PBM "contract"):

v 11.0.27rc6
============================================================
x Don't enforce Incognito UI restrictions if the "Override
Tor Browser Security Level preset" option is checked

v 11.0.27rc5
============================================================
x Enter key closes the popup also while editing the CUSTOM
preset
x Incognito-aware permissions persistence and UI
(https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29957)

x Removed inline preset options relics

Is it intended that the operation to override is only available in Tor?
As in, I don't see how/where to override in non-Tor (Nightly)?

And I can certainly see where a user would want to "test" a page in Private Mode, but would want to be able to make changes "permanent" (so to pass back through to non-Private Mode).


(Similarly, though in an entirely different respect, for people who do Allow , I'd think the lack of ABE-like ability to be a big failing - compared to Legacy.)

Yes, because Tor users have only Incognito windows available and the already existent override was meant to prevent permissions to be reset to the Securrity Level default on each browser restart, so it's consistent with user expectations.

Both on Tor and other browsers, you can review and switch permissions from temporary to permanent from NoScript Options>Per-site Permissions.

Anyway, this is a restriction put in place because privacy conscious users where surprised to learn that setting permanent permissions leaked information on their visited sites on the disk (something quite logical, yet...) which violates the Private Browsing "contract".

If you're aware of this still you want to override on a non-Tor browsers (where you could simply revisit the site in a non-private window and make your choice permanent), here's a hack:
  1. Open NoScript Options>Advanced]
  2. press Ctrl+Shift+K
  3. type

    Code: Select all

    document.getElementById("opt-overrideTorBrowserPolicy").click();
    and hit Enter
Do the same if you want to go back to the default (it's a toggle).

Most users didn't use ABE, but power users (and myself) did, and I've got some plans for that too, but unfortunately I first need to ensure it's not all lost work with Manifest V3.
Contextual permissions are likely to come earlier, probably as a a further CUSTOM option (e.g. an "on this site only" checkbox).

Sorry guys,

I'm not an advanced user, I don't use the TOR browser, I just installed NIGHTLY and I use private browsing.

I don't want to change the code in NoScript,
but I would like to have full control of NoScript and decide what to block (like it was before).

CUSTOM option (e.g. an "Disable restrictions" checkbox) will be nice.

PS: I use "uBlock Origin" to find out what to block in NoScript.

I think I got it toggled, once.
But don't think I've got it to go back?

Code: Select all

Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "click", document.getElementById(...) is null
    <anonymous> debugger eval code:1
debugger eval code:1:10
In any case, that's hardly a "clean" way to go about it.
If you want that setting by default, that's fine, but provide a toggle in Options | Advanced, or something, IMO.

Just to add a different perspective, I noticed this in one of the Android versions (either ff or nightly), and thought ... waaaaaaaitaminute ...

Then I remembered that I've wanted this functionality in private tabs (only) for a long while ... :lol:

Mostly because I don't want to close my private Windows, then accidentally visit a site in normal I visited privately (and temporarily allowed there) and it suddenly allow the scripts.

I'm just testing some other stuff on Android, so I'll edit in which version of was in a bit.

EDIT:
OK ... It works in Standard FF 68.8.1 NS 11.0.28, but not an older nightly ... I will update that in a second.

Please check 11.0.29rc1: this incognito stuff messed up Firefox 68 and was messed up by Firefox Nighlty on Android, but it should be all sorted up now.

I use a Private window 100% of the time (set in Firefox Options). This change in NoScript makes things highly inconvenient for me, usability from my POV is degraded. Perhaps a setting to leave things as they were would bring usability back.

Nothing was meant to change on that respect.
Probably I'll introduce an ad-hoc Advanced preference in 11.0.30. In the meanwhile you can use the hack above.

Release_11_0_29 on some site Trusted and Untrusted are not selectable

Post by Arthur2020 »

From the options menu when right clicking, only Temp trusted and Custom are able to select. i.e. the selector is not moving with my choice.

For example go to: tweakers.net

It's not the site, it's the Incognito mode you're using (or you're on the Tor Browser).

Hi Giorgio, thanks for notifying. But this was never the case. Why not make it selectable?
I'm not using TOR.

Yes I'm using private mode, as I always do and did.. but sometimes a new site, for example, anew bank, or an insurance site, I want to have the option to set the selector to TRUST.

What is your suggestion? You can not open a new tab with CTRL + SHIFT + P which is not private.. so too much fuzz. Another option perhaps: Whitelisting?
