hello everybody!
My problem: after access of my hotmail inbox (http://mail.live.com) there is no further functionality. Reaching the sent, junkmail and so on is impossible.
NS is to allow hte msn-site, nevertheless there is no functionality on this site.
I use Firefox, latest version on XP_SP3.
Again: I have no more opportunities to allow NS anything, as everything concerning js on the site is given free. Only solution is to deinstall NS.
Any hint? Thanks!

Hello derek!

I just set up a test account. This is one of those disgusting sites that keeps loading new scripts and objects as each new page is loaded. For example, once there was a NoScript placeholder in the upper left of a blank page, for an I-Frame. Just keep allowing the things that are from Windows (assuming you trust Windows; no comment here ). Watch the NoScript logo. It might be blue at the start, because you've allowed everything, but as new pages load, the logo will become part red again, indicating new scripts and/or new objects that are blocked by default for your protection. Click the NoScript logo to see the list of scripts and objects, and, assuming that they're from this trusted site, allow or temporarily allow them. By dong this several times, I was able to get to inbox, junk mail, sent mail, etc.

Let us know if this works for you.

@Tom T
sorry, I'm late... meantime I've deactivated NS and was surfin' well, if one keeps loading time of websites aside (in result of heavy js-action).
I was really nerved (and still am!) of configuring every this and that and paralipomena, just to have my pc running in a "normal" behaviour..
(absence of spam, advertising and galore).
Now I installed an new OS, Puppy Linux-431-de and added Firefox. As the install is on my old PC, bought 1999, 500MHz, 256Mb Ram,
I installed Adblock Plus and NoScript, giving it a new chance, just to have less traffic on my light dsl and old CPU.
Just in the moment I started MS Hotmail - what happened? Everything opened as of course nothing else could have been expected !
So what? I didn't turn anything on NS's preferences.
The other machine, a FJS desktop with MS XP_SP3 running has three accounts: me, my wife, my children.
My account used! NS and nothing worked with Hotmail. (O.k., Billy, ok. Never forget, that whole world uses MS!!...and some things are really nice there, really!!) My wife uses Hotmail too, has same installation of NS and all works well WITH Hotmail! Children have their Thunderbird/freemail elsewhere.
I'm not the guy to deinstall/dredge the motor of my car before every driveaway and reinstall it after revisioning, in hope of havin' a smooth start afterwards..
So, what can I say? I can't understand why something happened, why not. To me, there is no logical consequence. And that's, what gets my nerves!!
Sorry again and thanks alot for just giving me an answer!!
regards! dierk

...My account used! NS and nothing worked with Hotmail. My wife uses Hotmail too, has same installation of NS and all works well WITH Hotmail! ...

If your wife's Hotmail account works with NS and yours doesn't, there must be some difference in configuration between the two profiles, either in NS, in another Firefox extension, in Firefox itself, or even in Windows. Compare each setting in each profile, and you should find the difference.

In the meantime, what about the first suggestion: The progressive re-allowing of new scripts as each script loads more scripts -- watching the NS logo for color changes or the NS Menu for green "blocked objects". Does that not work for you, as it did for me?

Regards,
Tom
