Oprions/Whitelist entry not permanent

Post by veteran »

Hello -

I have allowed a site - radio.net - in whitelist yet every day I have to enter it again. How to overcome this?

Also, the amount of letters 'allowed' seems to be inconsistent. Is there a reason?

Thank you

What NoScript version are you using?
How are you whitelisting the site?
Do other settings save?

I don't know what you mean by this...

Thanks for responding.

Version is 2.6.9.12
Whitelisting by going to Options, and typing in address of the site in Whitelist tab, clicking Allow
Yes, other settings are saved

OK I've just added a site to my whitelist that way, let's see how long it stays there.

So far it's survived many browser sessions, a reboot, and even a minor browser upgrade; at this point it's not likely to go anywhere. So since it worked for me, this is probably not a bug in NoScript.

Sorry if this a stupid question but you do realize you have to click OK to NoScript Options to save the whitelist change? (ok, so I ask because I've been caught by that several times myself :oops: )

If that's not it, after attempting whitelist radio.net, does radio.net show up:
1) in about:config > capability.policy.maonoscript.sites?
2) anywhere else in about:config? (you can just filter for it)
3) in your exported whitelist? NoScript Options > Whitelist > Export (*not* the Export on the very bottom of the NoScript Options, the one actually in the Whitelist pane)

Also how long does the entry persist for you, and does it survive browser quitting and/or computer reboot?
