NoScript prevents sites (verizon) from loading even disabled

I've recently started experiencing strange issues in my browser and it appears to be a NoScript issue, since after uninstalling, the issues disappear.

First, when attempting to visit http://www.verizonwireless.com, even if I select "enable scripts globally", the drop down menus for their site fail to work. I've whitelisted everything on the site, as well as globally allowed scripts, and the site still does not work. After uninstalling NoScript, everything works flawlessly.

Second, the whitelist settings haven't been saving. I've allowed a few sites several times using the "allow" as oppose to the "temporarily allow," yet a lot of sites have later been blocked even after doing this.

I've experienced this issue on 3 different machines - one laptop and two separate desktops, all on separate networks. All machines don't have any underlying software related issues, malware, etc. I stay on top that :-).

The main reason I'm posting is because I was trying to pay my Verizon bill, but I couldn't get the site to work while NoScript was installed. I've had a few more mainstream sites experience the same issue, but can't recall them off hand atm.

Any idea why NoScript is acting like this?

Verizonwireless sucks. And I told them so (again) just the other day.
I logged into a personal account. Logged out. Then when to log into a business account.
Try, try, try again. No luck. Call them, transfer me to tech. Tech is duplicating my findings on their end.
I clear cookies, verizon.com & verizonwireless.com. I get redirected again & again to a page where I can't to anything.
Clear cookies again. Still redirected. Cannot even get back into the personal end.
Then I recall vzw.com. Tech didn't even know they use vzw.com domain. Clear those cookies & still having trouble. ...

Last month (knock on wood), I accessed the same sets of accounts without issue.
This month, problems.

Eventually, though a combination of I don't know what, I was able to get in again on the business end.

Had forgotten about the noscript.inclusionTypeChecking.exceptions mentioned. Not sure if I still had it on the computer in question?
Will have to look tomorrow.

Verizon Wireless with 1.10

noscript (even disabled) doesnt allow some links to work.

NoScripts Breaks VerizonWireless.com

My noscript.inclusionTypeChecking.exceptions string had https://scache.vzw.com/ but not .vzw.com.
Adding that & http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/index.html works much better.

Awesome, thanks!

When trying to access text.vzw.com with the NoScript PlugIn enabled I would get this error message:
Request Entity Too Large. A request entity is longer than the server can handle.
Following these simple steps here and (very important!) deleting all vzw.com related cookies (a few millions it seemed) turned the universe (at least my *.vzw.com world in Firefox 8-) ) into a better place!

For the records: at this point FF 3.6.17 with NS 2.1.0.3, but I had probs for a while with lower versions of both, FF & NS, too.

And I agree with many others: BAD Verizon coders! From what I understand this is NOT a NoScript error.
