Option for displaying Forbid, Allow, Revoke /website /page

[Anonanon]

Has the idea of putting options in the Contextual Menu for displaying (either or both actions) Forbid, Allow, Revoke per website per page been looked at before?
By this I mean that if I visit noscript.net and using the current NS, if I right-click the page I'll see:

- "Forbid noscript.net"
---------------------------------------
- "Forbid googlesyndication.com"
---------------------------------------

Currently, I would have to revoke temporary permissions then the page refreshes, and when I click "Allow noscript.net" the page refreshes a second time.
What I'd find handy is if I had the option to setup NS context menus and enable/disable either or both of the 2 options Forbid, Allow per website per page.


This way I could possibly see:

- "Forbid noscript.net"
- "Allow noscript.net"
---------------------------------------
- "Forbid googlesyndication.com"
- "Allow googlesyndication.com"
---------------------------------------

This way I could "temporarily allow all this page".
If I decide to allow an individual website to have more a permanent allowance then I could change the setting without the two refreshes (painful on dialup users).
Also it also seems redundant to allow, then allow again for the same website...

I've seen references about turning off tab refreshing, but that just isn't a viable option for someone like me.

PS. Has the idea of putting an About tab in the NoScript Options been considered before?
I had noticed "BetterPrivacy" has something like it buried under Help -> Help Button, and also the addon "Unplug" had a nice About tab with a clickable link.
It seems a bit frivolous, and I know that there's already an "About NoScript..." option in the right click menu (sometimes I forget its there, just my sometimers acting up. ).

If I'm understanding you correctly, I believe that this FAQ will answer your main question.

You're getting temporary permissions for NoScript and G-A? I didn't think temporary permissions were set as a default, since they automatically expire every time you close the browser, so you shouldn't have to revoke them. Perhaps you set them that way? Go into your whitelist (NS menu > Options > Whitelist), and remove the permanent items you don't want, and add the ones you do. All untrusted items (everything not whitelisted) can now be temp-allowed as you wish, and you can temp-allow, perm-allow, or revoke-temp the whole page by clicking on that option. (NS menu > Options > Appearance > check all the "temporary" and "revoke temporary" etc. in the lower right. Is it not set this way now?).

If the "sticky menu" FAQ first mentioned isn't solving the painful dial-up refresh problem, perhaps adding permanent entries to the NS Whitelist would actually be faster, since that happens right inside Firefox, without going over the Web. After adding and deleting all the entries you like, you then have only one refresh to do. But the sticky menus should do that for you as well.

Re: About tab: Probably not, since it's also immediately below "Options" in the upper NS left-click menu (triangle next to logo), and immediately below it in the lower left-click menu (the logo itself, in the lower left.) Along with the r-click menu you describe, that seems like enough places for something that gives little more than the version information (and the names of translators). I have Half-Timer's Disease myself, but I seem to find it when needed.

I think that everything else you want is in the FAQ. If not, please let us know what else you need. Thanks.

I didn't write about problems. I attempted to write about a usage concept.
So no, I don't believe I explained my concept very well at all.
Well never mind.

Perhaps I should have said "what you want' instead of "what you need". But unnecessary refreshes, *especially* on dial-up, are definitely a problem.

I'm sorry that I didn't understand you completely. Please feel free to try again, and *screenshots really help* in cases like this, if you can do that. (Show the menu that you're seeing at Site X when you click Y, etc.)
