fmpub.net scorecardresearch.com and sitemeter.com etc.

Post by cfaber »

Hi guys,

I love this script and find it extremely useful, however I've noticed that I have to constantly add scorecardresearch.com fmpub.net and other domains to the untrusted site list. Why is this? other domains I add seem to stay in the list, except these.

I'm running the latest noscript

Any ideas?

Hi,

So after upgrading I'm still seeing this issue. What's really interesting here is that if I manually add fmpub.net as well as scorecardresearch.com to my authorized list I the record seems to stay there, however if I manually add it to my untrusted list via prefs.js entry the entries are pruned from the list.

Is there something within noscript which is designed to look for these two domains, or is this some other bug that's going on?

A simple test site is http://fark.com as they use both services.

Do you edit your prefs.js entries while Firefox is running?
If you do, rewriting is expected (prefs.js is read only at startup, and overwritten many times during Firefox execution).

No, the edits took place while firefox was fully shutdown.

I'm sure that this problem is reproducible as I experience it on both linux as well as windows firefox revisions.

If you would like me to send you my noscript entries from prefs.js please let me know and I will.

Hi,

Did you happen to spot anything bizarre or off in my prefs.js which would cause the behavior I'm seeing?.

No, there's nothing weird in your prefs.js.

Did you check on a clean profile?
