[RESOLVED] Nasty Side Effects of "Temporarily Allow All..."

Post by John_G »

I have several times encountered what I would call a very annoying bug in NoScript. I usually have several page tabs open in Firefox, to switch quickly between pages. Here is the issue (there are two related versions).
First - if I have a tab with a paused video on it (e.g. a YouTube video), and then on another tab with a totally unrelated page I ask NoScript to "temporarily allow all this page", then the paused video in the other tab (or tabs) is automatically resumed, with no warning. Very undesirable behaviour.

Second - If I have an audio playing in one tab, and I do the "temporarily allow..." in another tab, the playing audio is stopped, and I have to restart it manually. Sometimes it will resume from where it was, other times it restarts.

Neither of these "side-effects" should be happening - options I set on one page (tab) should not affect other pages.

Can this be fixed?

Under NoScript Options > General, do you have "Reload the current tab only" checked?

Ah - there WAS a way to fix that. I did not have that option checked (I didn't even know about it!).
That should look after it. Many thanks!
