Disabling or enabling NS on one page, affects all pages

[Clueless]

Since the last update, I can no longer have NS either on or off on individual pages/tabs/monitors. If I change permissions on just one tab say, all tabs and monitors are immediately affected.

Should I revert to the previous version? If so where could I find it?

Thank you for your assistance.

PS. Using Windows 7 Ultimate

I don't understand the question. NoScript has never been enabled on a per-tab basis. You can allow or block each site individually (which is the core feature of NoScript since v1.0), but there has never been any separation between different tabs or monitors.

The only thing that I can think of that might be related is the settings that control whether pages are automatically reloaded when permissions change. You can configure whether all tabs will be automatically reloaded, or just the current one. Is that what you were asking about?

If not, then please clarify your problem.

Now I'm even more confused.

You say: "You can allow or block each site individually..." but then you also say: "there has never been any separation between different tabs or monitors."

I have always been able to control individual pages with permissions. Except after the last update.

Example: 3 monitors, 5 tabs and each a different site. One is say Yahoo mail... but if I'm on another monitor and another tab viewing say Google News and I enable NS to block tracking cookies, the Yahoo tab, on another monitor, informs me that my scripts are blocked. That has never happened before, kwim?

Code: Select all

+ noscript.autoReload.global about:config preference controls if 
  automatic reload affects global allow / forbid (thanks lulu135)
+ noscript.autoReload.allTabs about:config preference controls if
  automatic reload affacts all or just current tab (thanks lulu135)

Thanks for the code, LOL, I only wish I knew what to do with it, or how to interpret it...

So I turned everything to 'false.'

I hope that's the right thing to do...

Otherwise, I will come back and haunt you in your sleep...

Ah. Having different sites open is a different story. I was talking about having the same site open in multiple tabs; NoScript won't isolate them from each other.

One is say Yahoo mail... but if I'm on another monitor and another tab viewing say Google News and I enable NS to block tracking cookies, the Yahoo tab, on another monitor, informs me that my scripts are blocked. That has never happened before, kwim?

Are you sure it's actually blocking scripts? There isn't just something happening with the icon? Which sites appear on your NoScript menu?

And what do you mean when you say that you "enable" NoScript? The only way I know of to disable and enable NoScript involves restarting the browser. Are we using the same words to mean different things?

i think that what you are talking about is controlling the allowed permissions so that if you allow something on one webpage it is not, at the same time, also allowed on all of the other webpages that you have open..

my understanding is that the way to do that is to use these settings, in FF's "about:config" :

"noscript.autoreload.allTabs" = "false"
"noscript.autoReload.allTabsOnGlobal" = "false"

see this, from the FAQ's, #5.2:

Yes, correct.

I did as you suggested and made those changes in about:config. Think there's some improvement, but because I am a Luddite, not exactly sure...

Further adding to the confusion are the icons on my toolbars (NS) which I can click and either enable or disable on pages... (though sometime have to click multiple times, to get something to display on a page)

In any case, thanks for your assistance!

Sleep tight!
