Hi, I've just started using firefox-noscript 10.1.7.5-1 with firefox 60.0.2-1 on Arch Linux.

When I hover over the NoScript icon a tool-tip shows a breakdown of the number of blocked items that's always shown in the icon's top-right corner. That's useful. If I then click the icon to see a list of domains, there's no clue as to which domains had how many of which type blocked and this hampers my guesswork as to what to unblock to define a custom definition. Please consider this enhancement.

Sometimes, one of the types in the list shown on clicking Custom has a brownish rectangle background to it. What does this signify? I tried finding the answer myself by unzipping the XPI, but couldn't even locate where the "Allow" that appears at the top of the yellow-detail Custom detail appears.

Cheers, Ralph.

NoScript 10.1.7.5 is outdated and has known issues with Firefox 60.0.2. Please upgrade to latest NoScript from https://noscript.net/getit (10.1.8.2 at time of writing).

You're answering your own question Those brownish rectangles show what type of network requests were seen for that domain. For example, on https://noscript.net/changelog there's a brownish rectangle on "script", because that page loads https://noscript.net/cl.js.

Yes, I had already flagged the Arch package as out-of-date and it got upgraded overnight so I'm now firefox 60.0.2-1 and firefox-noscript 10.1.8.2-1.

You're answering your own question :) Those brownish rectangles show what type of network requests were seen for that domain.

Thanks. Were seen and not allowed, or just were seen? IOW, does the brown rectangle appear for ticked boxes? I did not find any mention of the brown rectangles in the guide.

Talking of which, https://noscript.net/ has a 'A Basic NoScript 10 Guide' link to https://forums.informaction.com/viewtop ... 74&p=94778 but that's page 2 and it's not immediately obvious to go back a page to https://forums.informaction.com/viewtop ... =7&t=23974

The brown rectangle is only visible under Custom so one has to switch each domain in turn away from its current setting, e.g. Default, in the hunt for brown. This is tedious and a poor UI so a numeric breakdown visible for all domains at once would still be better. Also, just switching a single domain from Default to Custom and back again, making no other change, triggers the automatic page-reload and that's unwanted on this pay-per-byte Internet connection. It would be nice to turn the page-reload off as a global setting.
