Another weird thing with NS.....

[Ketira]

I've found something else that's weird --and it does seem that NS is the problem as this hasn't happened until I upgraded to 1.9.9.18.

Whenever Mozilla pops up, your site also pops up in a separate tag --no matter what I set the options to. It's as if it doesn't like the options I set and auto-resets them whenever I shut down Mozilla.

And just in case you forget:

==============================================================
I know that's a lot, but most of that is needed for various sites. For example: Gaia Online uses Flash for all their mini-games & the MMORPG, while it uses Shockwave for the Housing Arranger (you get one free house to decorate as you wish to), and Java is needed for some of the "surprise" gifts that pop up from time to time.

But this problem didn't pop up until I updated NS to the present build when prompted to. So now what's going on here? Can it be fixed?

Could you check if other Firefox preference are persisted?
I suspect you're experiencing this issue (which, however, is unrelated to NoScript).

[Ketira]

I tried that, and it still happened... so I uninstalled Mozilla & started over fresh.
I still think it's something that NS did; I'll install it again when I see it's been fixed.

Since there is obviously insufficient evidence that it is indeed an NS issue, I recommend you don't jump to conclusions and we can't fix what we can't detect or know. You are welcome to do what you want but consider something else you are doing might be the problem and the blame is misplaced. Good luck.

It's much more likely something that Firefox did.

It's much more likely something that Firefox did.

Which is fixed in the next release: Fx 3.5.6 and Fx 3.0.16. The estimated release date is currently next week on 15 December.
