NoScript resets a specific config key

[FM33]

Hello,

When noscript is activated, the about:config key network.protocol-handler.expose.ed2k is reset to "true" at each firefox start.
What can i do to fix it to "false" ?

Thanks for your help

This is part of a protection against cross-application attacks which exploit URI missing or wrong sanitization by other applications.
You can disable it by setting the noscript.fixURI about:config preference to false.

Thanks, it worked

I pointed out noscript.fixURI.exclude key. I tried first setting "ed2k" as value, but it didn't work. What is the way to use this exclude list to avoid disabling completely this protection ?

You can't.
Could you explain me what does not work for you with network.protocol-handler.expose.ed2k set to false?

Actually, the wanted value is "false". When it is set to "true", FF won't open ed2k:// links. In fact, it doesn't work either, but it's probably a FF and/or Ubuntu issue. Fixing the value to false is a first step before asking for more help with protocol handling.
