Problems with javascript in the address bar

With NoScript enabled, javascript entered into the address bar on a blank tab doesn't work, even with noscript.allowURLBarJS set to true.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a new blank tab
2) Type
in the address bar and press Enter.
Results:
With NoScript disabled, an alert box is displayed.
With NoScript enabled, nothing happens.
With NoScript enabled but Allow Scripts Globally set, an alert box is displayed.
Any ideas? I've checked that about:blank is allowed, if that makes any difference.

That's due to some weird Mozilla internal implementation details.
It's worked around in
latest development builds.

additional person with similar problem. Noscript is blocking my javascript in the address bar, but I do not know how to change the noscript.allowURLBarJS setting to true. maybe this is an easy fix if you can explain it to me (as simple as possible please), i've looked all through the NoScript <options> file and can't find that particular bar.

Open
about:config, locate the relevant line and double click it.
Please notice, though, that next Firefox version will prevent address bar JavaScript from interacting with the current page, making it mostly useless anyway.

I'm still on 2.1.2rc1 so don't know if it holds true in 2.1.2rc3, but ...
... brings up the NoScript warning.
Though if you load about:config (even without "entering" [accepting the prompt], much less modifying the associated Preference), then the warning is bypassed for subsequent actions
in that window.

Ditto with 2.1.2rc3.

Maybe this is a SeaMonkey specific issue?
(Not sure if NoScript is "on" in FF5 or not? I installed it, but only the "message at the bottom" shows, no icon or anything like that even though I do have the Add-on bar displaying. Or do I need to customize & drag ...? I sure don't understand this FF critter. So that's normal now, in FF, that no [NoScript|FlashGot] icons display unless you manually customize?)

Correct.
Install NoScript, & as it is a NoScript preference, it will then show up.

Just a quick note that this oddity still exists in SeaMonkey 2.7a2.
