"Temporarily Allow" Wack-a-Mole

Post by smersh »

Hello.

So for the last week or so, I've been having issues with using the "Temporarily Allow" option; in that I can allow sites on one tab, but if I go to another tab & temporarily allow sites there, the site(s) from the first tab [and maybe other tabs] revert back to not being allowed. I have to switch tabs & re-allow unrelated sites which works for awhile, until a new tab needs sites allowed & it randomly starts again with un-allowing sites.

I'm on an iMac, OX 10.9.5 using Firefox 34.0.5 & NoScript 2.6.9.9

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

thank you.

Is it consistently reproducible?
i.e. at any time if you have both a.com and b.com not whitelisted, does the following always happen?
  1. Open a.com in one tab
  2. Temporarily allow a.com
  3. Open b.com in a second tab
  4. Temporarily allow b.com
  5. Go back to the first tab and find a.com is not allowed anymore?

(The other day, I certainly had Temp Allow, same domain, in two windows, Forbid in one, the other did not reflect the change. Went back & forth a number of times, still differed. Went on to other stuff, stopped back & at some point, both were showing Forbid.

> consistently reproducible?

No.
But then I've seen odd things like that from time to time so wasn't particularly concerned. And figured that once I got around to searching through some older posts of mine, I'd say to myself, oh, I've run into that again.)

'kinda' reproducible... Not a clear-cut allow A results in deny B. but maybe Allow a/c/d/w/g/d will results in Deny B or maybe C. Allow C might deny A ...or not... I haven't been too scientific about it. I was hoping for an existing issue that could easily be fixed by saying 'hey idiot, toggle the FOO option' :)


One _mostly_ repeatable is on my facebook.com tab, I temporarily allow akamaihd.net. I just tried to get it to revert by going to another tab www.myfitnesspal.com & Temp Allow various sites. flipping googletagservices.com, newrelic.com & ...cloudfront.net. At one point, allowing newrelic.com immediately disabled akamaihd.net.

Then I hit a few tabs trying to TA various sites. akamaihd.net did not change. went back to myfitnesspal.com & noticed most of the sites I just allowed were denied again. TA'ed *.cloudfront.net & akamaihd.net switched back to denied.

Thank you & Merry Christmas!
