Got the above notice from NoScript while ordering from newegg.com (https). NS message said it was writing it to Console, but can't find it there.

Do you know what could have been happening, and anything about securesuite.net and XSS? Thanks.

I have a basic understanding of what XSS means. I guess what I'm really asking is if you have heard anything about securesuite.net and what it might have been doing while I was logged in with https, and in the process of completing a purchase with credit card info. I suppose I should notify Newegg.

Did NS mean the Firefox error console or the Mac console, where I often see NS entries? Looked in the FF one and still don't see that entry.

You should find a line starting with [NoScript XSS] in Tools|Error Console just after you get the warning.

Any idea exactly what NS may have been preventing by filtering this? Phishing, data theft? Are all the XSS attempts that NS catches exploits of one kind or another? Do any have any legitimate purposes? Heard of this one? Thanks.

It might be a false positive or a real issue.
No way to tell it without looking at the actual message.

No dice then. It's gone. Anyway, thanks to NoScript it didn't get through, whatever it was.
