What Happened to the "Allow All This Page" Option?

Post by mrbure »

I've been using NoScript for years and it's one of the best things about Firefox. However, since the new update, I've been having serious problems with it mainly due to the disappearance of the "permanent" allow option. In older versions, I could select "allow all this page" for pages I trusted and only have "temporarily allow all this page" for others. With the newest update, that permanent allow option is gone, and now, every time I open Firefox, I have to use the temporary option multiple times for every page just to get even Facebook to open properly. This is a serious hassle and is even making me seriously consider just deleting the extension. Can you bring back the permanent allow option?

You realise those options allow EVERY site listed and these allows are *not* site-specific, don't you? It affects far more than just the one site you're on.

Please read the sticky for more information.
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

I am fully aware of that. It was possible to use the "permanent allow all" for specific sites and not have to temporarily allow the same page every time I open Firefox. That's what I was asking about

I Agree, this is serious hassle. If there is a way to do this, it is not obvious, and I have having to allow temporary permissions every time I access my bank, health care, insurance, etc.

Not sure I fully grasp the problem at hand.
Do you want to give permanent permissions?
Mark all the relevant sites as TRUSTED, rather than temporarily TRUSTED, or even use CUSTOM for finer-grained permanent (or temporary, if you wish) permissions. You just need to do this once, since it's permanent, needn't you?
Am I missing something?

Unless I am completely missing something, the only option I can see in the new version is to manually mark every script for each site as trusted. This is daunting as some sites have dozens of scripts. In the old version you could choose to all *every* script trusted for that site with one click. If there is a way to do that in the new version, I simply do not see it...this is all I see: https://ibb.co/bYAyOH

Just to follow up (I was the last comment by the way), should we assume that if we want to "allow all" permanently on a single page, we have to do it service by service, as opposed to having a one-click option (like in the old version)?

For now, that0s correct.
I'm not completely closing the door to a reintroduction, even though making it in a way that's not confusing and a possible source of accidentally unsafe behavior seems problematic.

Thanks for the response. At least it will force me to pay closer attention to the individual scripts running on said "safe" sites. In fact, it's probably doing me a favor in the end. Great product, by the way.
