Cannot permanently deactivate "Scripts Globally Allowed"
Cannot permanently deactivate "Scripts Globally Allowed"
(Firefox 19.0, NoScript 2.6.5..8). As of late the option "Scripts Globally Allowed" is set by default. When deselecting in one session, the next session it's selected again. Even entering explicitly the preference user_pref("noscript.global", false); in pref.js has no effect; on starting Firefox the preference will automatically be removed. Any idea how to get back to the former behaviour?

Could your profile be corrupt? That behavior shouldn't happen. Trying making a new profile and seeing whether the problem persists.

Re: Cannot permanently deactivate "Scripts Globally Allowed"
Also, did you by accident toggled the noscript.tempGlobal about:config preference to true (instructing NoScript to make global permissions be revoked on each new session)?

@Thrawn & @Giorgio: Thanks for your suggestions.
Yes, I did ceate a new profile and tested with it - same result. The pref noscript.tempGlobal was already set to false.
Well, I'm not sure if a policy which I set in the Client Customization Kit (Mike Caply's) may interfere: the preference capability.policy.maonoscript.javascript.enabled is set to "allAccess". Although shouldn't this setting only take effect when scripts are already allowed by whitelisting a site?

That's it. That very preference is what control the globally allowed/forbidden status.Klaus wrote:@Thrawn & @Giorgio: Thanks for your suggestions.

Please don't try to customize those preferences from outside NoScript, stuff can become really messy and unpredictable
