What is this?

NoScript 2.0.9.6
Here's the site I see this strange info in the NS notification at bottom of page:

Thanks for any insight

Giorgio, any idea on this anomaly? I have never seen this on any other site...

Which NoScript version are you using?
What did you allow (if anything)?
Can I see a screenshot of your NoScript menu?
Can you see any error (red!) message in Tools|Error Console?

NoScript 2.0.9.6
No to all... See here for screenshot:

Giorgio, have you had a chance to look at my screenshot yet? What is the grayed out Forbid neterror entry on the menu? I have never seen that before either...

Thanks

"about:neterror" means that some subframe didn't load because of a network error, and Firefox's built-in error page is being displayed.

But no error page was displayed... and when I went into about:neterror I got the notice shown on my screenshot page

This may just mean the iframe is hidden.

That's normal, since you opened about:neterror with no parameters and therefore no actual error could be displayed.

Have you determined what the weird entries in the Notification bar is? Could it have anything to do with kontera.com being present on the page? Is something on the page maybe trying to bypass NoScript?

I cannot reproduce.
Does it happen to you after using NoScript Options|Export and NoScript Options|Reset?

Yes, it still happens after a reset (did not try export)

OK, I exported and reset again (all defaults) - no change until I allowed kontera.com temporarily... See Exibit B of my sceenshots page. Reason I suspect kontera is, it somehow got into the whitelist without my permission on one visit to the page when *nothing* was allowed

I keep NoScript locked down completely all the time.

Thanks

Are you blocking anything via hosts file or by other out-of-browser means?
Just to reassure you, no content can reach out of the page and mess with NoScript.

No Hosts file blocking - only Vista firewall with no exceptions allowed...

Have just tried a new profile (default settings) with only NoScript (default settings)... Same anomaly in NoScript Notification bar on said site

Again, this is the only site I have seen this weirdness. Has to be something with this site?
