Re: What do the individual checkboxes for Default/Trusted/Untrusted/Custom mean?

@barbaz can your descriptions be added to the actual ui of the add-on? It is dumb the extension doesn't explain itself within its actual gui.
Even with the descriptions from your post here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26285
it would be nice to see
description: script - JavaScript, e.g. <script> tags
checked: allow javascript
unchecked: block javascript
because when you get to noscript, the term "noscript" is essentially a double negative so it's really confusing to know what checked versus unchecked implies and, consequently, the effects of each would be.
I'm assuming, in my words, a <noscript> tag is a way for a website to say "if javascript is disabled, do this instead" to allow a site to offer an alternate way to function when your browser doesn't support javascript. By checking it, you are letting the site use a noscript condition to offer that alternative choice. By unchecking, you are saying "do not give this site a way to do something different when I do block javascript."
If I understand it correctly, that makes 2 of u,s but I don't think everyone would grasp that.
Also, object is still vague. I assume this would mean plugins such as Flash, Silverlight, Oracle Java, etc. It should say that. not simply "plugins"
the addon gui got so stripped down when we moved to web extensions that it isn't nearly intuitive as it used to be.
