Bookmarklets and Private Browsing

[RayV]

Hi,
First let me say "Thank you". This addon has taken a lot of the pain out of my keister for doing everyones searches in my family.

I use private browsing and assorted addons to block everything from flash adds to redirects to autodownloads, and have noticed that in the recent past I can no longer use the google bookmarklet as soon as I click start private browsing. I have to either go to a site or i created a link to about:blank which works, but used to I could just click "Private browsing" then click the google bookmarklet which prompts me for what I am searching and off we would go. I have tried resetting averything and still nothing. I am running 2.4.4 of NS. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

1. Could you show me the code of this bookmarklet?
2. Does it work when you're not in Private Browsing mode?
3. Does it work if NoScript is disabled?

Here is the code of one of the bookmarklets, none seem to work. I did however discover that it is not NOS that is causing the issue. Firefox itself has changed something in the the last update or so that prevents it from firing any bookmarklets of mine from that particular point. I can duplicate it every time even if NOS is disabled.
Step 1. Click "Start Private Browsing".
Step 2. Click any Bookmarklet.
None of mine seem to work at that point. I can go to any web page or open a blank page and they will work on that page, but as long as I am on the initial "about:privatebrowsing" page none seem to work.

here is a simple bookmarklet to pop up an ascii chart. It will not work on that initial page either.

javascript:function%20C(v){return%20'<td>'+v+'</td><td>'+((v>>4).toString(16)+(v&15).toString(16)).toUpperCase()+'</td><td%20bgcolor=DDDDDD>&'+'#'+v+';</td>';}var%20c=4,b=Math.ceil(224/c),a='<table%20border=0><tr>';for(j=0;j<c;j++){a+='<td>DEC</td><td>HEX</td><td>ASC</td>';}a+='</tr>';for(i=33;i<33+b;i++){a+='<tr>';for(j=0;j<c;j++){t=i+(j*b);if(t<=255)a+=C(t);}a+='</tr>';}a+='</table>';var%20W=open('','','width=500,height=600,left=0,top=0,resizable,scrollbars');void(W.document.write(a));

Sorry to have bothered the forum with this was out of ideas and up to my neck at the time.
Thank you for your response.

Works fine for me.

Output is a table of dec/hex/asc:
