2 quick questions

[noscriptguest]

Hi,

I started using Firefox NoScript looked really good, so I got it.

Ok, so in Preferences -> Content in Firefox, there is the option to "Enable JavaScript" and "Enable Java", so are we supposed to have those boxes checked or unchecked? (By default I had them checked, so if they were supposed to be unchecked, would that mess up anything?"

My last question is, in the FAQ it says that there are websites in the default whitelist, which are:

chrome:
about:xyz
addons.mozilla.org
noscript.net, flashgot.net, informaction.com, maone.net
gmail.com and google.com
hotmail.com, live.com, microsoft.com, msn.com, passport.com, passport.net, passportimages.net
yahoo.com, yimg.com
googlesyndication.com

However, my whitelist just shows these:

about:
about:certerror
about:config
about:neterror
about:plugings
about:privatebrowsing
about:sessionrestore
chrome:
resource:

I have the latest version of NoScript, and I can add those, but I was just wondering why my whitelist was like that.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

First question, depends on what you want to block.
Second question, about:xyz means about:<everything> therefore everything that appears after the about: is the xyz.

In the browser itself, you want to leave (both) JavaScript & Java (assuming you have Java installed) enabled.
If they were not, then you have globally disabled them, leaving NoScript with nothing to do (relating to those two).

The FAQ may be outdated as to the domains Allowed by default?

If you do a Reset (backup first if you need to), does your whitelist change?

Looks like a Reset should set these (or close to it):

Code: Select all

pref("noscript.mandatory", "chrome: about: about:config about:neterror about:certerror about:plugins about:privatebrowsing about:sessionrestore resource:");
pref("noscript.default", "about:blank about:credits addons.mozilla.org flashgot.net google.com gstatic.com googlesyndication.com informaction.com yahoo.com yimg.com maone.net noscript.net hotmail.com msn.com passport.com passport.net passportimages.com live.com");

Thanks for all your help, both of you

therube, yeah, the Reset did make my whitelist look like your example there.

Ouch, the default whitelist doesn't get installed anymore since 1.9.6, as a regression of the multibyte temporary allow / mark as untrusted bug fix
Fixed in 1.9.6.9.
Thanks for noticing.
