Since the last update when NoScript shows a message warnig line (about blocked scripts), from time to time there is no a "reasonable" action available within the menu.

When it's normal, I can choose one of the following items:
- Allow all this page
- Temporarily allow all this page
- Make page permissions permanent
- Something from Recently blocked
- Something from Untrusted
- Allow a particular page
- Temporarily allow a particular site
- Forbid a site

When NoScript is "out of order", it offers choices as follows:
- Revoke temporarily page permissions
- Make page permissions permanent
- Something from Recently blocked
- Forbid a site

however, no one choice of these makes no sense at the time it appears.
The only possible action is to click the "x" button on the warning message line to close it. However, this means the warning keeps showing on th enext time on the particular site.

What's wrong?

Have you enabled 'Scripts Globally Allowed'?

No, I have not.

No, I have not.

BTW, if I did, what would be the reason for the "Scripts Partially Allowed" warning message line???

Because any site(s) specifically marked as Untrusted will still be blocked.

From the menu entries that you're describing, perhaps you've accidentally clicked on Temporarily Allow All This Page or Options - General - Temporarily allow Top-Level Sites by Default?

No, when I chose "Temporarily Allow All This Page" it was (somehow) OK.
Then I just wanted to allow scripts "belonging" to a webpage to work "smoothly", so I've chosen "Options - General - Temporarily allow Base 2nd level Sites by Default".
It seems to me it was not a good idea.
Why?

The trouble with automatically allowing top-level sites is that you don't know whether they are trustworthy until *after* you visit them - by which time they've already had a chance to attack you if they're going to. It's a convenience feature, not recommended for security.

Did you enable this before the menu changed? Because that would explain the change.
