NoScript gives me a "Meta redirection blocked inside NoScript" message on Yahoo mail [NOT the new one..].

This is at the top and pushes everything down, then several seconds later every slides up again. Argh.

I have SHOW MESSAGE ABOUT BLOCK SCRIPTS off but still get this. Is there a way to surpress or MOVE the alert to the bottom?

Uncheck Noscrip Options|Advanced|Untrusted|Forbid META redirections inside <NOSCRIPT> elements

I want the blocking; it's the noisy notification I want to suppress.

Uncheck Noscript Options|Notifications|Forbid META redirections inside <NOSCRIPT> elements then.

Please pay attention to the setting provided to you, it specifically addresses the NOTIFICATION not the function

The first response was not to that.

Further, the Notifications tab reads "forbid META redirections.." when I infer it means
"block them silently"....

In any case, thanks to all for the advice...

@ befuddled: I too have Yahoo Mail Classic [NOT the new one..]. I have both redirections and show notification of redirections checked. I don't get any such notification on any Yahoo Mail page. I'm wondering what's causing that -- an advertisement in an iFrame? Something malicious, not in Yahoo, but in an ad site that's been XSS'd? Some malware in your machine?

Perhaps you could reproduce that notification, copy it and post its contents here? Then Giorgio would be better able to find out what's causing it, because something strange is going on here. Thanks.

I actually got an XSS notification today when logging into Live/Hotmail which I thought was funny as it never happens. I tried again and again to reproduce it but no luck, so not sure why it complained.
