Hey there,

I just spend ~ 1.5 hours trying to fix why I couldn't login to my Speedport w700v Router (t-online thing). I ended up using firebug to prevent the ever increasing timeout for the wrong password, because I did'nt want to redo all settings - which I ended up doing anyways (hardeware reset, reconfig all ports and computers).

Only then I learned it was noscripts fault, and using a different browser solved it (I clouldn't really before because of the length of the timeout and firebug the only known way to get arround it for me).

This is superannoying. The fact that there isnt a dropdown option to "don't do anything until I activate noscript" (because its very useful at times) is a huge omission imho and made me deactivate it permanently. You really broke my browser and caused me hours of annyoance. Please just add a deactivate completely option. Messing with basic connection problems is really bad.

And BTW, this router bug is worked around in latest stable version, 2.0.9.6...

Hello Giorgio,

thanks for gettig back to me so fast.

I was suggesting a directly accesible option in noscript, not disabling it completely, requiring a restart and another restart if I want to use it again (if I understood you correctly, can't really figure out due to localisation). I have "allow scripts generally" checked in prefs btw, I thought this would be the same.

Also, noscript is the plugin that comes up most often on starting firefox saying there's a new version. I restarted FF a lot in the last hours, so I (wrongly) assumed it would check for new NS versions on restart.

So I'm not a FF expert. But I am not a complete idiot, i managed to trick my routers timeout with firebug. But NS still caused me a lot of trouble, which imho could have been easyly avoided, by making a bypass option available without restart. I think this is a omission, and I would be very pleased if software intended for the end user would include it (as protecting/taking care of the user is one of the main goals if I understood this software correctly, and making it impossible to acess the settings in the router isn't helpful at all).

Thanks,
Georg
