After changing NoScript settings, I am no longer able to log onto regular sites, like eBay or another site I'm a member of. When I try to log in the site reloads the log in page, even after temporarily allowing scripts for the site. I've run virus and malware programs to make sure the sites aren't being redirected, and it appears they are not. I can't figure out what changes to make to prevent this from happening. Passwords and log in information are correct. This does not occur on all sites, such as my bank (and I've contacted them directly to prevent online access temporarily). This information may be in other posts, but I'm unable to find it. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance!

Do you remember what you changed? In particular, could it have been 'Advanced - HTTPS - Forbid active web content unless it comes from a secure (HTTPS) connection' ?

Anything in the Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) under Errors or Messages?

What appears on the NoScript menu when you are at, say, eBay? Which other sites are affected

Did you change any of Firefox's cookie settings?

Thank you for the quick reply Thrawn. To answer your questions -

Do you remember what you changed? In particular, could it have been 'Advanced - HTTPS - Forbid active web content unless it comes from a secure (HTTPS) connection' ?

I tried changing this setting to each option, but I still get back to the log in page after trying to log in.

Anything in the Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) under Errors or Messages?

No errors are shown. Messages all show the eBay log in page.

What appears on the NoScript menu when you are at, say, eBay? Which other sites are affected

The NoScript drop down menu shows: scripts to temporarily allow, Recently blocked objects, Blocked objects, Make page permissions permanent, Revoke temporary permissions, Allow scripts globally, Options and About NoScript. The other main site affected is Shaklee.com.

Did you change any of Firefox's cookie settings?

I don't recall changing Firefox cookies, and right now the are allowed. But I have history set to "Never remember history." I am still able to log on the my bank without any issues. Does any of this help narrow down what the problem may be?

First thing to try is to disable NoScript & restart.
Then test your sites.
If they still don't work, then it isn't NoScript.

If they do, then perhaps a 'Reset' within NoScript will set things right?
(Backup your settings if you need to first.)

Or even before disabling, you could try allowing scripts globally.

What do you mean when you say that eBay appears in the Messages tab of the error console? What is the message?
