Cannot select to enable a domain beginning with dot

Post by davidpbrown »

NoScript 2.6.9.11rc1 in Firefox 35 for Linux Mint

The dropdown list from the NoScript icon suggests ".disqus.com" beginning with a dot, which is unusual and perhaps why I can't enable that temporarily or permanent, where I can others with normal alphanumeric characters starting the domain.

Example page that threw this.. I was trying to enable the twitter share option which I guessed as disqus.

Hi, could you please post the URL again using the [url] BBCode to prevent it from being mangled by the BB3 auto-link feature?

So, it looks like a typo in the page's source code.
I should probably just discard that entry as invalid.

*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

And in that regard, note that "http://reachlocal.net]" ("https://reachlocal.net]") are Allowed, or at least they do turn up on the whitelist, even though their status does not change in the context-menu.

So long as the browser will consider it invalid. NoScript is a choice about whether the browser does what it does, or not; rather than a choice about what is valid.
I expect that's the same outcome though.
Thanks.
