ABE blocks do not track prefs

[Guest]

While trying to setup analytics on a website, I wasted a lot of time trying to determine why it was not recording hits from my browser even though I had turned off the 'do not track' within firefox options. After disabling extensions one by one until this page:
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Brows ... fault.html
reported that tracking was not blocked I found NS as the problem extension. I then disabled NS features one by one until I found ABE as the culprit.

I looked around but did not see any mention of this "feature" on the faq or forum. I'd suggest strongly that noscript provide a method to allow honoring the user's desires in regards do not track. While most of us probably do not want tracking enabled, there may be times it is necessary for work or other reasons. Hopefully this post alone will save someone some head bashing.

WFM. (Testing with a local server.) Does ABE still do this if you go to about:config and set noscript.doNotTrack.enabled to false?
