whitelist corrupted?

Post by Matt »

I can't say when or how this happened, but my whitelist suddenly contains a large number of tracking and ad sites that I know I did *not* clear--things like Google Analytics that I remember blocking on purpose, and would never reverse. It also has a bunch of seeming keywords like "register" and "site," but I don't remember if they were there originally. Does this sound suspicious? What could be going on? I'm using Firefox 3.6 on a Mac. Thank you.

No, I panicked and reset the whitelist. I could recover it from TimeMachine--I had wanted to try and see when this might have happened--but I can't figure out what the whitelist's filename is.

There is no "filename", per se.

NoScripts' list of sites are stored in your prefs.js file (in your Profile).
(Look for things like, capability.policy.maonoscript.*.)
