After manually revoking a website's temporary permissions (Options -> Whitelist -> [Deleting a website's temp permissions using the delete key]), mousing over the "Revoke temporary permissions" menuitem still shows that website as having temp permissions... not sure if the website actually has temp permissions or not? Either way, it seems to be a bug...
(I know I probably wasn't very clear, so here's an example - it's a good example of my problem...)

Load microsoft.com, spanishdict.com, and thedailywtf.com; grant them all temporary permissions. Now, right-click the NoScript toolbar icon, click the "Options" menuitem, go to the "Whitelist" tab, select the spanishdict.com entry, and delete it. Now, close the options dialog, right-click the NoScript toolbar icon again, and mouseover the "Revoke temporary permissions" menuitem - the helptag that shows the websites with temp permissions will still show spanishdict.com!

Is that a bug?

Note: tested under Windows XP SP3, with Firefox 3.0.13, and these addons installed:
Adblock Plus 1.1.1
Brief 1.2.1
Check4Change 1.6
CS Lite 1.4
Download Statusbar 0.9.6.5
Error Console Filter 0.3
FireFTP 1.0.4
Java Quick Starter 1.0
NoScript 1.9.8.1 (just downloaded 1.9.8.4, but didn't install it yet)
PDF Download 2.2.0.2
Read It Later 0.9947

Other than this bug, I've never had a problem with NoScript, and I positively love it - keep up the good work!

Yes, it's a bug and will be fixed in next version. Thanks for reporting.

Thank you!

Fixed in latest development build 1.9.8.5

OK, thanks!
Is the dev build stable enough to get, or should I wait until Firefox "formally recognizes" the update?

Due to my development model, latest dev build is always the best version available (the one I use for my daily browsing).
Unless an outstanding bug or security enhancement is mandatory, though, I try to put at least one week between "stable" releases, since some users find automatic updates rather annoying.

OK, thanks for the info!
I'm going to collect the latest build right now...

Just tested the latest build (sorry I didn't do it sooner, but I've had a long download running in Firefox so I couldn't restart) and it works!

Thank you so much, Mr. Maone! NoScript ROCKS!!!

Consider using an external download manager with the FlashGot extension. That's usually more convenient and robust than using Firefox for long downloads.

Thanks for the tip!
I usually use Free Download Manager (because it's portable), but ran this one in FF... not sure why I did.

You're welcome. Glad to hear you're on top of it already.
