Permissions menu change or bug?

Post by Lithopsian »

I run NoScript with the menu set to open when I hover over it. The permissions I select used to be applied, and the page reloaded, when the cursor left the menu (only if it entered the browser area?), but recently this has stopped happening. Sometimes the change is applied immediately on click (only one permission? maybe always did this?) and sometimes the change is not applied at all until I close the menu, for example by clicking in the browser area. Is this an intentional change or a bug? It just did it when allowing javascript on this page and the capture domain :)

I have just installed Firefox 36, but I think this was happening with Firefox 35 also. NoScript 2.6.9.15 is installed. There are no apparent error messages in the console. My browser has various addons and non-standard preferences, but the same behaviour also occurs in my clean testing browser version 38.

Yep, something along those lines, something weird definitely happening.
And as you say it might refresh the page on a single domain change or after selecting multiple & then giving the page focus.

I'm convinced it is pure & simple FF (36) BS.

Yes, that sounds like the same thing. I'm on Linux though. Should probably have mentioned that ;)

I can reproduce it in Firefox 36 release in Linux. I'll edit my post in the other thread.
