Direct d/l for noscript works different w/ff4 now

Hi again!

When updating my Noscript, I use the direct download page on 'get it' from noscript.net and drag the link to the address bar. Prior to FF4 it would work in that one step..then FF would put up a yellow bar notice asking if I wanted to allow it, then I would get the 2nd FF layer asking if I wanted to install it.

Now, with FF4, it takes dragging it two times to get it to prompt for install The first layer FF (of asking okay to allow this d/l) is gone, but the 2nd layer comes up as normal asking if okay to install.

I'm don't know why the allow download prompt step from FF is missing, but perhaps that is a FF4 change or is it related to the way the direct download is functioning?

I'm mainly wondering if the updating by direct download needs to be tweaked or is needing to drag the link twice to get the download the normal process now.

Thank you!

Assume it is a change in FF4 as you still get both prompts in FF36.
If you click the link, you do get both prompts in FF4.

(Dragging into SeaMonkey's address bar, does nothing but copy <append> the URL into the bar.)

Hi!

I feel better knowing it's not a security problem. I didn't know I could click on the link to d/l either.

Thanks for your help!
