Nice job. Would really like to have two NoScript buttons on the Firefox toolbar for these functions:

1. Temporarily allow all this page.
2. Temporarily allow all this domain.

Maybe you could allow more than one NoScript button on the toolbar and let user assign a different function to each???

(I'm really tired of repeatedly allowing layer after layer of nested script on some sites and button #2 would do it in one click.)

Thanks! 8-)

You've already got this (right-click on empty space of toolbar, Customize, you should see a "Temporarily allow all this page" button you can drag somewhere)

?
What specifically is "temporarily allow all this domain"?

Oh, you mean "Cascading Temp-Allow all this page" (as opposed to the existing "Temporarily allow all this page" which really means "Temporarily allow all sites on the NoScript menu for this page").
Please no, please let's not have a toolbar button for this. Too dangerous to have the possibility to *with one single (mis?)click* allow things you can't see or vet before allowing because those script sources weren't present without running other scripts first.. so while thinking you are safer than Allowing Scripts Globally, in reality it's equivalent except you are worse off because of the false sense of security.

But we have that already, just no "button".
Options | Trusted -> Cascade top document's permissions to 3rd party scripts

And IMO that is safer (well lets say more finer grained) then Allow Globally, & would be a better "button" then Allow Globally currently is. IOW one should prefer to use Cascade rather then Allow Globally.

Difference begin Allow Globally will affect ALL pages. Cascade will only affect specifically (Temp)Allowed sites.

(As it is now, that is more difficult because there is no "button" [context menu item].)

Yes but that is a global mode you set everywhere so you don't expect to have per-origin control in the same way, so there's no false sense of security.
I didn't think Zuzu would want to set that everywhere.

I didn't know about button #1 already being available. Got it, thanks. That will make it much easier to allow multiple layers, so button #2 may not be as desirable as I thought. Will try it for a while and see.

Not a big fan of allowing anything "globally." ;)
