feature request: temporarily allow scripts globally

[mickey1990x]

temporarily allow scripts globally

like an options to allow scripts globally for one session and after restarting firefox the scripts to be blocked again.
I sometimes need to turn noscript off and after i forget to turn it back on. So i end up having noscript all the time off because i forget about it.

sorry about my english.

temporarily allow scripts globally... I sometimes need to turn noscript off and after i forget to turn it back on. So i end up having noscript all the time off because i forget about it.

Wouldn't "temporarily allow all this page" work for you in that situation, instead of temporarily allowing all of the Internet? Then you can either "Revoke temporary permissions" through the NoScript menu, or they will automatically be revoked at the end of the browsing session. So you can't forget and accidentally leave scripting enabled globally. This is much safer for many reasons.

Can you give an example of a site where you need to do this?

By the way, your English is very good. (And we're here to give tech support, not to criticize English (see number 2)

thank you for your answers, noscript.tempGlobal seems to work

and to give you an answer tom: sometimes my mother uses the pc and she dosen't want noscript on so it's easier for her to turn it off for all the sites rather than manually swtch every site... anyway it's her choice but i still wanted to use it, i just kept forgoting to turn it back on. thanks again

OK, I understand. But just to make sure: She is using the "Scripts Globally Allowed" checkbox in General, and *not* actually disabling NoScript in Firefox Tools > Add-ons? The reason I ask is that even with scripting allowed globally, NoScript still provides many other protections: XSS (Cross-site scripting), Clickjack attacks via the ClearClick feature, ABE, etc.

I'm pretty sure you meant that she just checked the Globally Allow box, but when we see "turn NoScript Off", we tend to read that as "Disable NS", which is very different and forfeits the above silent protections.

Cheers.

Edit: Two other options on NS > General tab:
http://noscript.net/faq#qa1_12
"Temporarily allow top-level sites by default"

"Allow sites opened through bookmarks". If all of her favorite sites are bookmarked, then this allows them for her without any action on her part.

no, i only ment 'allow scripts' not disable NS
and i think i'm gonna use "Temporarily allow top-level sites by default" . i think it's safer

thanks again and keep up the good work with NS , it's one of the main reasons i use firefox.

Yes, it's an improvement. Per the FAQ,

This way, the main address of each site you visit will be temporarily allowed to run JavaScript (you may still need to check 3rd party scripts, but they're usually ads and tracking stuff), while the content blocking restrictions you setup for untrusted sites (NoScript Options|Advanced|Plugin) will be applied everywhere.
Notice that this setup, even if useful in blocking annoyances and still safer than vanilla Firefox, is considerably weaker from a security standpoint than the default NoScript configuration.

Please be sure also (per the FAQ)

• 1. Check NoScript Options|General|Temporarily allow top-level sites by default and select 2nd level domain
  2. Check the NoScript Options|Embeddings|Apply these restrictions to trusted sites as well preference

thanks again and keep up the good work with NS , it's one of the main reasons i use firefox.

Thank you for the kind words. They're much appreciated.
