NoScript and pref

Every time I add a website on my white/black lists, Firefox Browser Console throws an error message at me:

Code: Select all

Warning: attempting to write 40563 bytes to preference noscript.untrusted. This is bad for general performance and memory usage. Such an amount of data should rather be written to an external file.

Code: Select all

Warning: attempting to write 68358 bytes to preference capability.policy.maonoscript.sites. This is bad for general performance and memory usage. Such an amount of data should rather be written to an external file.
Most of the size of my preference file is caused by NoScript.

Will ever come a time when these data are stored somewhere else? Will they always remain where they have no business to be, causing "general performance and memory usage" issues?

Thanks.

They will have to move somewhere else eventually, because Mozilla is at some point in the future going to force all preferences to be no bigger than 4 KB.

You seem to have an unusually large whitelist BTW.
