Recently blocked sites [BUG]

Post by IMNOTABRO »

Recently block sites are not allowing you to reset them, I went to a few sites and after trying to click reset from the sub menu it does not reset them on NoScript 2.6.8.35.

This help?

Code: Select all

v 2.6.8.35
======================================================================
+ Recently blocked sites are now recorded per-window (causing automatic
  oblivion of data from Private Browsing windows when they're closed)
+ Recently blocked sites are not collected at all unless the menu item
  is configured to be shown (thanks Barbaz for RFE and patch)

If the recently blocked sites list is per window, then closing that window/tab should clear any recently blocked sites from the list shown when another window is displayed. But the list persists when any window is viewed. I agree with the original poster that this is a bug. Clearing all history in Firefox does also clear the NoScript list of recently blocked sites, but that's a little drastic. THis is not a HUGE issue certainly, but worth a fix at some point.

I could not reproduce in SeaMonkey on a clean profile with only NoScript latest development build.
Please create a clean profile from scratch. Install only NoScript, leaving all the defaults.
Does the problem still exist? If not, this might not be a NoScript bug. Export your NoScript settings from your original profile using the export button on the very bottom of NoScript Options, and import into the clean profile with the Import button on the very bottom of NoScript Options and re-test.

If it still works correctly, try adding back your extensions, one at a time, until you find one that causes the issue.
Then remove all the others, pairing only the suspected one with NoScript, to confirm that the remaining one is the issue.
If the problem is solved even with all add-ons reinstalled, then the previous profile may be corrupt. You could try Standard Diagnostic, but you would probably be better off completely shutting down Firefox and copying only those files containing data you care about fron your old profile to the new one.

Let us know, thanks.
