noscript block pages in firefox, even when "allowed"

Post by extelligenzia »

Hi
May be i used noscripts the wrong way, but i used it for simply a first line defense, wether if the page was bad or not (also thinking it will block links to 3 partes bad js).
Ofc in 99% of the time i pressed allow this page, as i know what i was looking at.

As such i have recommended using noscripts to users completely unaware of IT issues, which i now deeply regret.
(example: an old man 85 years old couldnt even use a typewriter (!), but he wanted a pc, so i just recommended the combi firefox / noscripts, so he gets a warning.
my point was: If he write the wrong url, he would get the warning, and could think twice about what he was doing.
(firefox.com was allowed, but then firefix was not, and this should also worss if the bad url was using cyrillic characters in the www: noscripts would still see it as an url, that is not allowed)


But in the new version, "allow" this pages didnt work as i expected (even when i removed noscripts from firefox)
meaning
- allow this page
- close firefox
- access this page again,
- the page was blocked (again).
So i stopped to use firefox completely, and is now using chrome.

So 1 bug (as least as i see it) and a lot of complaints ;)

Now i have googled that i can remove firefox and all traces / data, and hopefully get rid of the settings which i resume is a leftover from noscripts, but ofc will use another add for js protection.
I whish they had saved the original noscripts as a light version.
suggestion: get the original back as a light verison and let the users pay for the advanced :)

So, what you're meaning (your complaint) is that there's a "Set all this page to Temporarily TRUSTED" but not a permanent version of it anymore?
