Allow Scripts Globally not allowing scripts set as untrusted

Post by qwerty017 »

Firefox: Latest Nightly
Noscript: Latest Development
Example:
Go to http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... death.html
Set livefyre.com as trusted so you can refresh and set livefyre.co as untrusted.
Once it is set as untrusted click on Allow Scripts Globally.
The Comments will never show up but if livefyre.co is either not set at all or set as trusted they will.

This is by design.
Scripts marked as untrusted are not enabled when you allow scripts globally.
This make "Allows scripts globally" a way to handle script permissions in a blacklist-based fashion.

Ok. I had always thought it was a way to temporarily allow all scripts. Is there a way to do that? Temporarily allow all scripts, even those set as untrusted? This would allow me to see if something is being blocked due to Noscript, Adblock Plus, or Request Policy because sometimes I may have mistakenly blocked something when not needed and the other 2 have an easy way to be turned off temporarily.

You should only mark something as untrusted if you are sure that you will never want to allow it. If you aren't sure, then just leave it blocked by default.

The best way to tell whether NoScript is blocking something is
Please create a clean profile from scratch. Install only NoScript, leaving all the defaults.
Does the problem still exist? If not, NoScript is not the culprit.

Try adding back your extensions, one at a time, until you find the one that causes the issue.
Then remove all the others, pairing only the suspected one with NoScript, to confirm that the remaining one is the issue.
If the problem is solved even with all add-ons reinstalled, then the previous profile was probably corrupt. Problem solved.

Let us know, thanks.

Ok. So there is no way to temporarily disable NoScript without Disabling the addon completely, restarting, checking if the page now shows correctly, then re-enabling, and finally restarting a second time? Is there any chance of a button being added that can temporarily allow everything even blocked scripts like is available in Adblock Plus and Request Policy?

Already discussed here - it's up to Giorgio, but probably not.
