allowing script erases url

Hello,

Sorry, but i didn't see this listed anywhere.

I am using Firefox 38.0.1 on Mac OSX. Not all the time, but too often (maybe once a day), when i "temporarily allow" a website... the url box empties and the site is not in the history!

I don't know if it's me or NoScript or something else. But i'm here because NoScript is the first thing that happens, that i've noticed, that creates this problem.

Can someone point me in any useful directions to solve this?

Thank you for the best/most important add-on.

Can you explain more clearly what the issue is there? Are you saying that NoScript's Temporarily Allow is sometimes equivalent to "Close this tab" + Firefox's "Forget about this site" feature for you? What the..? :?:

Any specific URLs this happens on consistently?

Sorry i wasn't clear.

What happens is that the tab i'm in goes to no url and no source code, so a blank page. The tab itself remains. But also, since the information is gone i've searched in history for which page just got blanked. It's not in the history at that point. I see now that the current page that i'm on, is not in the history, so maybe i'm ignorant of how "history" works. :( But... i didn't mention this before... when i start retyping the url, the rest of the url is "suggested", so it's somewhere in Firefox's memory.

In terms of which urls, i haven't seen a pattern. I will come back and put one up here, the next time this happens.

Thank you for your consideration.

I am still not clear what is happening. So you get navigated to about:blank and the history for that tab (not actual browsing history) gets cleared, when you Temporarily Allow a site in NoScript? Image

Probably the reason I'm not understanding what's happening is that I've never seen/heard of anything even similar to this before, in any context.
Can you please post or PM me a screencast (movie or animated GIF) of the problem, showcasing all possibly relevant parts of the browser UI, including but not limited to the NoScript icon & menu before & after the problem?
