Temporary allow scripts globally?

Post by slgeo1 »

Hi,

Thanks for a great product, I do like noscript. I have a question though...

If I'm doing something important, eg making a purchase online, and don't want any possible confusion or blocking of scripts from a 3rd party checkout site, I often enable scripts globally, make the purchase, and disable scripts again. Or at least, that's what I INTEND to do, I usually forget to re-enable them.

How can I make sure it's always re-enabled? The tiny icon at the bottom isn't enough to remind me.

For example, is there a setting somewhere to say "ensure noscript is enabled on browser restart"? Or a "temporary allow globally"? I like the 'temporarily allow' button but because its specific to one site, a lot of shopping cart tools still aren't let through.

Thanks,

Just set the noscript.tempGlobal about:config preference to true.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was after.

In case others follow this thread, I googled the setting:
The "noscript.tempGlobal" about:config preference causes the "Globally Allow" status to be revoked at the end of each session. By default its status is persistent across browser sessions.
