NoScript for FF57 buggy

Post by Savior »

Hi,

thanks for updating NoScript for FF 57; I felt completely naked browsing without it.

However, it is currently too buggy to be useful. I remember being able to click on the buttons (trusted--not trusted--default), but then that only opened down a panel and only the lock icon worked. Also, the even though pressing on the lock icon seemed to work, the next time I opened the dropdown, sites I am sure enabled JS for were red again and some sites I did not became green. So I guess the list indexing thing was messed up, but I cannot be sure if only for the display.

Another issue with UI is that it is completely unintuitive; especially the long list does not help (why do we have a long list that's full of red locks? Shouldn't NS just maintain a whitelist?)

Also, it somehow messed GitHub + Jupyter up completely, so I had to disable it.

Looking forward for future versions.

I agree its too buggy to use on untrusted sites. I was very excited for this release but it still needs a lot of work. No way will I be visiting any torrent sites until these issues are resolved.

Main issue: changing permissions in custom changes all permissions for default as well. Even when the clock is selected. At one point it even bugged out and was allowing everything for my untrusted sites but all boxes were deselected.

Thanks and happy to see NoScript back again...
The problem now is that Noscript block a lot of scripts but only one or two can be allowed or blocked in the option window...
So it's not so powerful, useful and accurate than the last version.
Perhaps the team is working to make it better..
Thanks and good luck

The red/green thing also confused me, but I think I figured it out. The color is indicating the state of the lock. And the lock is indicating whether HTTPS is required. It is not indicating allowed or disallowed. That information is reflected in which of the 4 buttons on the left (Default/Trusted/Distrusted/Custom) is selected.

As with many others, I am missing "Temporarily Allow All" and "Revoke Temporary Permissions." I'm hoping they make it back in updates.

Also the localisation seems to be a problem.

I suppose, all or most table columns have a static width. Unfortunately the most german words are mutch longer then their english counterpart. Thereby tables are very confusing.

By the way - NoScript is a great tool. Thank your very much.

The new update also seems to be stopping all RSS feed Live Bookmarks from loading their feeds.

Or rather it definitely is. After disabling NoScript all Live Bookmark feeds loaded.

*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
