Watching prefs.js: When about:config is opened, line 3) disappears from prefs.js while it shows as "maonoscript" only in a:c and can't be edited. When FF is closed, the line reappears but with "localfilelinks" only. Huh!
Yep, and this is the most prominent reason why it's incompatible with NoScript's "Allow local links" legacy feature.Hansl wrote:Giorgio, you're probably aware of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=995943#.
Ah! That one I had already forgotten… Now all our machines open local file links like file:///S:/somepath/somedoc again as needed — thank you very much! (The ones that worked without that setting were downgraded to NS 2.6.8.29 at that moment, I saw now).Giorgio Maone wrote:Is the noscript.excaps about:config preference consistently set to false in all those machines?

Really, this local link business and Mozilla's more or less thought-through changes have annoyed me mightily and cost me many hours several times now! (And you too, I think) And I'm still confused about the current state. Is the following correct? Could you please shed some light on this?
Just the "capability.policy.*" mumbo jumbo above (you don't need the noscript.* stuff unless you're using NoScript)Hansl wrote: • Since FF30, it should again be possible to allow local links out of the box, without NoScript or other add-ons? How?
At this moment (see my comment in the bug and my spinoff bug report) Trusted|Local Links is pretty much broken, just ignore it.Hansl wrote: • But when using NoScript (because of its other benefits) it takes over and one has to enable Trusted | Local Links and check the above five settings?
Only the latter, just uncheck NoScript's "Allow local links" option.Hansl wrote: • If so, all trusted sites (from "capability.policy.maonoscript.sites") are then enabled? Or only those in "capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites"?
The latter, it's a (broken) compatibility work-around for the now defunct Mozilla CAPS functionality.Hansl wrote: • The list in "capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites currently isn't editable in NS's preferences, only in about:config? Is it a NS setting at all, or the reinstated FF feature?
