Allow custom javascripts

[VSUB]

Is it possible to allow special JavaScript function without allowing the whole site.

Recently I downloaded one add-on that I really like but that add-on is not working properly unless I allow the script to the site.The add-on is Highlighter and the function to go to the marked text is not working because it requires JavaScript to be enabled(javascript:scrollTo)and also there is a function to warn if I try to leave a page with marked text(which is also not working because of the disabled JavaScript)

No, it's not possible.
On the other hand, add-ons are privileged and can do everything they want (included the actions you mentioned) without using content-level JavaScript, so I consider this an Highlighter bug.
It's up to the Highlighter developers to implement these functionality properly in order to make it work with JavaScript disabled.

I doubt that he even remember creating such add-on(his last update was 3 years ago).
Can you give me some directions where to read to try fixing the add-on myself(other possibilities how that functions may work)

I really appreciate this,really thanks.
btw there is one line in highlighter.js
Is it ok to write there

Code: Select all

item.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(decodeURI("here")));

whatever I want because that enter symbol doesn't look very good.

Yes, it is.

Ok thanks,now that add-on works exactly how I wanted and it also works almost like one other add-on(for locking tabs)...it's adding more extras for locking tabs
