noscript lost it's config and ghostery stoppend working

[wizekat]

hello guys,

I just came up with a weid issue :
- noscript lost its config, all the sites that were blocked.
- ghostery stopped working and also lost its config

I'm like i'm all naked in the middle of the street when these two extensions don't work!!

the scene :
- i'm using FF on kubuntu linux
- i'm a web developper and use FF + Kate + Dolphin, these do browse, edit and upl/dnl files
- I usually never shutdown my computer but I dit it last nite
- The last thing i've done last nite is setting up xamp for coding a new module (for prestashop), and setting up Prestashop (1.6)
- everyting was ok when i shutdown last nite
- this morning, no more ghostery and noscript lost all its config, but still works
- I fiddled with Ghostery and finally unisntalled it and reinstalled and it works again, but all the config is lost

To me, this sounds like some kind of bad script screwed the things up (maybe on purpose).

Have you any clues ?

This is really bad to me cause I also use noscript to debug my own code, when many scripts (jQuery and the like) are needed on a page, it is easier to block each script one by one to find out which one may be causing the trouble, and also to find out what the site will look like when a user blocks some script.

I've read along and found that many "intruders" (advertisers and other badass marketing zombies) really hate these two extensions, and maybe there is out there some kind of script that screws up noscript and/or ghostery.

It really sucks cause all those intruders usually makes a site useless (especially for Winshit users) but javascript is really needed for modern sites (nice interface, cool ajax,...) and these two extensions are the only ones who can jerk out the shitware and keep the cool stuff...

Keep on coding the cool stuff...

Most all (NoScript) preferences are stored in prefs.js, so odd that only it (& ghostery) were affected.

Are new setting changes maintained?
Maintained after a browser restart?

I would think "intruders" would care less, that the relatively small number of NoScript/ghostery users are insignificant in the scheme of things.

Didn't do a Reset on the NoScript end, by chance?
