In a situation where all scripts should be forbidden, the notification area at the bottom left displayed this message, which I've never seen before:

"Scripts Currently Forbidden 0/1 () | <SCRIPT>3 | <OBJECT>:0"

Usually it looks more like:

"Scripts Currently Forbidden | <SCRIPT>3 | <OBJECT>:0"

What does the "0/1 ()" mean in the first message? Does it mean that zero out of one scripts were blocked, and therefore one script was allowed to run for some reason? Could there have been a NoScript Exploit that forced the browser to allow a script? Or is it something mundane? I tried Google, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

Can you provide the URL where this occurs?

"Can you provide the URL where this occurs?"

Sorry, but I didn't make a note of it before I closed the browser window, which was sandboxed using Sandboxie and didn't record my browsing history. I just took a quick screenshot of the strange NoScript notification before I quickly closed the browser and deleted the sandbox contents, to prevent the possible malware from gathering data or whatever else. But I didn't notice any other unusual behavior, and the browser didn't crash.

I was hoping somebody would know what the "0/1()" part of the notification meant, as I haven't seen it before and could find no documentation about it.

Maybe it means one of the "mandatory" whitelist entries is on the NS menu?

I too have the same problem in my Firefox browser.
Similar notifications appear in all the URL's.

In the present Web page the notification is as below :
"Scripts Currently Forbidden | <SCRIPT>:9|<OBJECT>:0"

What is the problem ? What is the solution ?

I shall be thankful for your reply/advice on solution.

Thank you.

@balusaimbs@...: It is not recommended to post your email address to a public forum, especially linkified (as the board did to you). We don't give email support but this being a public board, there are surely bots harvesting for email addresses to spam or the like.
So I have obscured your email address slightly. Let us know if you want it completely gone, I will avoid re-posting it in the mean time.

Congratulations, your NoScript is working properly!
There is no problem. That notice just means that NoScript is blocking scripts as it should, in your example it's notifying you that it's blocking all active content on that page (which includes 9 script tags and 0 objects).
