"temporariliy allow" and whitelist agreement
Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2014 4:39 pm
Ubuntu 14.04. / FF 32.0 / noscript 2.6.8.41
I work at a University and I don't whitelist the whole domain . So, my permanent whitelist looks like this...
trusted1.uni.edu
trusted2.uni.edu
Occasionally I want to temporarily whitelist another host on campus which reads "temporarily allow uni.edu" in the options button popup menu.
This SEEMS ok as it is temporary, but later "revoking temporary permissions" removes this temporary one as well as my permanent whitelist options (i.e. trusted1, trusted2). So, everything... the new temporary "uni.edu" and the old whitelisted permanent trusted1.uni.edu" are removed from my whitelist.
Most of the time I remember to NOT temporarily allow the domain in the popup menu. Instead I open the whitelist, add the single host, use it and then later delete this "permanent" item from my whitelist. But sometimes I forget and my real permanent whitelist of trusted hosts is gone and has to be rebuilt again over time.
Odds are I'm doing something wrong or at least the hard way. I would love to enable a fully qualified domain name in my popup as the default when temporarily allowing a site/host. Barring that, I'd like to not wipe out my whitelist when a temporary uni.edu entry is there.
Any ideas?
Thanks
