How to read out a pixel color when NoScript is active?

Hello,

I would like to use a macro tool to automate an often used task on a website in Firefox 5 under Windows Vista. Therefore, the macro needs to read out the pixel color at specified coordinates and make a decision on that information. When doing that without NoScript this works fine. But when using NoScript in the default configuration, the macro gets a white pixel color even for colored areas on the webpage.

Is there any configuration option available in NoScript to change this behavior?

Thanks for your help.

Hard to tell without knowing the specifics of this macro tool and its inner working.

The macro tool I use is Quick Macros with its function "pixel":

I'm sorry,

I did some additional testing and now it works. I can read out the pixel color using the "pixel" function when NoScript is active. Unfortunately, I don't know the reason for this change.
