feature request: submenu to see root site page

Post by VladV »

Hello!

I'd ask you to add one more submenu level - for opening site's first page:

Right Click --> NoScript --> Mark somesite.com as Untrusted --> Open somesite.com default page (in new window)

It would be very usefull to check what is the site's main goals when some pages use it's scripts.
Right now I have to remember and manually retype server's url. :(

Thanx!

:o No, no, no, no, and definitely no. -1. Bad idea.
There is not guarantee that that page will exists or that the site isn't malicious!
Better would be to search, but you already can middle-click menu items that have tooltip saying so (and customize the URL that opens in about:config > noscript.siteInfoProvider).

EDIT
see viewtopic.php?p=74981#p74981 (and the posts following it)
/EDIT


What would be good though is if the Mark [..] as Untrusted menu entries could be right-clicked to copy the domain to the clipboard, just like the other menu entries. (viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21109) That way you could just copy the domain, at least not manually type it.

Well, there may be a warning message.
Or this option may be disabled by defaut in settings.
Or the site will be opened as untrusted.

Right click in NoScript popup menu does nothing. No domain names copied into Clipboard (I agree, it could help).
And I don't have middle key on my notebook.

It should copy to clipboard for an "Allow [...]" or "Temporarily allow [...]" entry (and does for me)... but it currently doesn't for Mark as Untrusted entries. The thread I linked on this subject is pointing this inconsistency out, but I'm not sure if it's a bug or RFE the "missing" functionality.

NoScript also lets Shift+Leftclick for those who don't have or dislike middle click.

Actually I wonder if you could configure about:config > noscript.siteInfoProvider to just point to the site itself? Image
(I must say I consider that a bad idea. But it might achieve what you ask for?)
