ABE notification isn't displayed if the url is entered in the Location Bar.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Default theme. No other extensions.
NoScript 1.9.9.45 with default settings with ABE USER rule:

Code: Select all

# User-defined rules. Feel free to experiment here.
Site *.yimg.com
Accept from yahoo.com
Deny

Steps to reproduce:
1) Enter or paste http://shopping.yimg.com/ into the location (url) bar. Press Enter.

Actual result:
Web page is not displayed properly
Many ABE messages in the Error Console
ABE notification is not displayed in a notification bar

Expected result:
No web page is displayed.
ABE notification should be displayed in a notification bar.

Note: The expected result occurs if http://shopping.yimg.com/ is clicked on.

Now that I think about your specific (bended) use case, maybe something could be done about it, i.e. if the site is opened from the browser UI I could regard the origin URL as being the same as the destination: this way, policies which allow the website to reference its own resources will also allow user to open the website, while more restrictive rules will block also direct browser loads...
