[RESOLVED] Permanently Allow a site

Post by Guest »

Hi,
Simple basic question (I hope)
I'm not sure with which update this happened, but in the drop-down menu I don't see anymore 'Allow [...]' all I see and can do is 'Temporarily Allow [...]? I checked under the option menu/appearance/ and 'Allow' as well as 'Temporarily Allow' are ticked? I use FireFox version 51.0.1 (32 bit).
Have I missed something? or how do I get this function back?

I used to use 'Allow [...]' as an easy way to add a site (that I deemed safe) to the 'white list' now the only way I can add a site to the 'white list' is to add it manually by going to the 'Option/Appearance' and typing it in!

Are you in private browsing?
What do you have selected under NoScript Options > Appearance?

the following boxes are ticked. On the left side:
Contextual menu
Allow [...]
Temporarily allow [...]
Mark [...] as untrusted
Allow script globally
Untrusted
Blocked objects

and on the right side:
Allow all this page
Temporarily allow all this page
Make page permissions permanent
Revoke temp permissions
Permanent "Allow" commands in private window


Thank you

PS: The same settings on a Linux system work just fine?

There's the problem. By default, NoScript doesn't let setting permanent permissions in private windows.

In the NoScript menu, select the menu item that says "Permanent Allow commands in private browsing windows".

That was already ticked under the 'Options'? but when I ticked it in the drop-down menu I got my 'permanent allow [...]' back. Thanks problem fixed.
I used FireFox in 'private browsing' and Noscripts for years without problems so that change must have happened during a recent update?

Anyway, problem fixed thanks for the help
