[SOLVED]NoScript does not work on YouTube

[IMB4U]

NoScript has always worked for me until a few hours ago. I have the updated version 2.0.9.9

I have been reviewing videos in YouTube and prior to downloading my new version of Firefox 3.6.16 (I had 3.6.15 I guess) yesterday afternoon, NoScript worked like it should for me. I only allow YouTube scripts on a "temporary" basis, so I must purposely allow the scripts when entering YouTube. I had my browser closed for a few hours and then I entered it and went to YouTube. I clicked on a video to watch and then realized I had forgotten to allow the YouTube script, so I looked at my NoScript (which was showing that nothing was being allowed on the YouTube page) and before I clicked to allow the YouTube script to run, the video began playing...without me needing to change the NoScript from not allow --- to allow! So even though NoScript is "red" and showing that I'm not allowing scripts on the YouTube page...and even though the actual YouTube script and Ytimg script shows that I'm not allowing them to run, scripts get to run anyway! So NoScript shows that all scripts are being blocked on YouTube...but they actually are not being blocked somehow! This is weird. What is happening? I hope I explained myself ok.

Addendum: I tried some other websites and NoScript is working fine (as far as I can tell)...it just appears that it is not blocking the YouTube scripts.

P.S. I had a difficult time in trying to sign into this forum today. I typed my user name & password only once and I was told that I had exceeded the limit of trying to sign in, so it wanted me to fill out a CAPTCHA, also. I noticed that the NoScript had a "google.com" script, but I refused to allow that script because I didn't want google to have anything to do with me signing into this forum. Finally, I gave up and allowed the google.com script just to see if that helped, and finally the CAPTCHA words showed up after I allowed google.com.

AFAIK, it is a change on Youtube's end (& not a regression in NoScript).
It has been this way for a while now.
Neither youtube.com nor ytimg.com are required to play video's on Youtube.

The login captcha request is not new either.
Bots or whatnot are triggering this action on (all) phpBB boards of late.

This is about a similar thread that I started the other day. Version 2.0.7 still works somewhat on youtube, at least it does to reblock objects that were unblocked without having to press the refresh button.

The latest versions of NoScript do work ok on YT if you turn on javascript first then unblock objects but that's no longer necessary to run their videos.

UPDATE: Tonight, everything appears to be running smoothly, again!

One issue I forgot to explain was that when I had clicked on the "show more" details underneath the YouTube videos, I was allowed to do so without allowing NoScript to run scripts...but I should have been forced to click at least temporarily allow when trying to get more details to show. Tonight, it is back to normal, and I do need to click NoScript's temporarily allow youtube/ytimg scripts before I can get the "show more" details to work...and for the right-hand side video thumbnails to appear.

Thank you very much for your responses!

P.S. Regarding the "captcha" when signing in...I probably shouldn't tell anyone this, but I've tried a couple of times in the past to sign in and ran into problems with that captcha, and even though I saw the "google.com" script, I refused to allow it because I didn't think Google should have anything to do with the NoScript forum. Therefore, I never was able to get into the forum and post my questions. Not too smart of me, huh?
