Permanent allow doesn't work

Post by Smintheus »

Hi,
since certain time the permanent allow stop working. If I do firefox restart, all permanent allows dissapear. In white list I have pages from before that time, but not the latest. I really dont know exact time or incident of starting this, it can be year or two, but now it starts bater me :)
Can it be by firefox settings? I have disabled all history, cookies and data saving, but then white list should be after restart tottaly clean, not only from latest adds...
Thanks for all suggestion.

Do you run in a sandbox?
Do other NoScript settings changes persist? If not, do changes to Firefox settings persist?

Not sure what do you mean by sandbox. Firefox is running in normal mode.
I dont think i ever change any other settings except white list in noscript.
I observe no spontaneous changes in firefox settings

No, I meant actually deliberately flip some setting in NoScript and/or Firefox and see if the change stays after a browser restart.

If you don't know what sandbox means then you're not using one.

Do you have a user.js or lockpref file?

Yeah, your whitelist and a bunch of other preferences somehow ended up in your user.js file, which is designed to persist settings like that. Restart your browser, quit your browser, remove the 'capability.policy.maonoscript.sites' entry from the user.js, restart again, and it should work.

Yeah, it works! Many thanks. I wouldn`t be able to figure this out by myself. I have no clue how happens that it was locked. I never did anything with this list. I did not even know it exists :)
So thx again

You're welcome! Image

If you decide to look into this more to figure out how that user.js got there, please let us know your findings.
