Hello...and thanks for the reply!
RE: Question #1...I had never visited those 3 sites before, and each time I just happened to use NS to see what scripts might already be turned on, and that is how I discovered that the Twitter.com & the Facebook.com scripts had already been allowed...I had not touched it whatsoever except for clicking on NS. (Weird, huh?)
Anyway, here are my addons I have:
AdblockPlus
BabelFish
BetterPrivacy
Flagfox
IE Tab
MediaWrap
New Tab Homepage
Nuke Anything Enhanced
Open Download
Screengrab
WOT
Plus...I have the Google "English" translation button on my Bookmarks Toolbar
Again, like I said earlier, I just downloaded the newest NS version a couple of days ago...and I had not changed anything to my PC or added any other extensions.
Addendum: I remember now that I also upgraded my AdbockPlus within the last couple of days, also.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...OK, I'm back,again! I've been reviewing info over the last couple of hours and all of a sudden, I remembered something else WEIRD which happened yesterday (after the installlation of latest NS).
I use the Ixquick search engine (for privacy...no tracking) and about a half dozen times yesterday when I simply typed a search & hit go, INSTEAD of being able to simply get connected to a search page, I HAD A POP-UP BOX APPEAR WHICH SAID SOMETHING ABOUT NOSCRIPT PREVENTED IXQUICK FROM USING XSS...and I wasn't allowed to be connected to the search page. About the 3rd time this happened, I noticed either a new icon or the NoScript icon and it was red...I clicked on it and it said something about XSS. I didn't know what was happening because I had never had that happen before, and I especially didn't understand why it would happen to my safe https Ixquick search engine! I remember looking in my NoScript options and noticed a box checked beside XSS which had a blue-colored question mark after it...and since I didn't what to do with it (I honestly don't remember seeing that box in the older version, but was it there?), I simply closed the NoScript back up and tried accessing pages with my Ixquick search engine 2 more times, each with the same end result (no go!). Because I don't know too much about scripts yet, the only option I had was to disable NoScript for the rest of the day so that I could use my search engine.
Today, I had totally forgotten about what had happened yesterday - most likely because I had no problems whatsoever with using my Ixquick search engine...and it was only a few minutes ago that while searching info on the net that I remembered about this incident, so here comes another question...
NEW QUESTION: Because NoScript has the box checked beside XSS in the options, should that have been normal for it to have blocked my search engine from connecting to another page? (Off hand, I wouldn't think so, but I don't know.)
AND...since this was a weird incident, along with the weird incidents of automatically showing Twitter & Facebook already set as allowing scripts which I explained earlier, could there possibly be a bug in this new version of NoScript?
Suggestions/answers will be appreciated!
