Anyway, I'm taking note of the toolbar button as a good suggestion for next version, thanks :)


Oops, forgot about that. I had the contextual menu on my setup disabled cause I find my context menu cluttered enough already. But thanks for considering the toolbar option, an extra method wouldn't hurt much I'd say..

Bugs!
<ul><li>allow javascript: links from the bookmarks no matter if the site is on the white-list or not (e.g. using bookmarklets on black-listed sites)</li> <li>Google's javascript detection seems to break either by the extension or using Strict JS only (that would be a problem on their part)</li> <ul> <li>This might be due to the Strict JS (I just thought about that), but I haven't tested it yet.</li> </ul> </ul>

NoScript is a great accompaniment to Greasemonkey, given that GM seems to have security issues with script access otherwise

First off, please don't get me wrong here, all I wanted to do is point out a personal opinion.... sorry if it came out rudeish

Giorgio Maone wrote:It says "Firefox (with NoScript) is safer than Firefox": someone could even read this as an innuendo to "Firefox is the only browser safer than Firefox".
I can't see how it is lame, misleading or bad rep: it sounds rather ironic and funny instead, to me. But of course, being the copywriter I'm a bit biased ;)


No, actually it says "There's a browser safer than Firefox... REJOICE!".... and when clicking on the thread, you are presented with an extension for firefox that disables javascript on user defined sites.

All I'm saying is personally it's annoying to see that title evertime I visit the extension forum, and even more annoying is the thread isn't even talking about a browser that is safer than firefox (which is the topic).

I might be nitpicking.. sorry.. but I've heard others complain as well, hence I thought I'd bring it up.

It's nice when topics aren't misleading, or atleast give you a hint of what the thread is really about... it would be nice to avoid future topics like this one, or the forms would be hard and tiresome to navigate.

Exactly. Editor and JavaScript is working, clipboard is not.

Giorgio Maone wrote:Try this:

user_pref("capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites", "http://*.*.*.* http://domainname.de domainname.de *.*.*.* https://*.*.*.* https://domainname.de");


I changed my user.js as you proposed. The change is also in prefs.js after restart of Firefox, as it should be. No change at all in behaviour.

Any more ideas?

Haloscan

Post by Tracy8 »

I'm hoping that this question hasn't already been discussed somewhere in the 26 pages, and if it has, please feel free to just post a link.

I've recently added this extension. So far it's fabulous. However, I do have one question: on some sites I frequent that use Haloscan, the link to the comments (haloscan) doesn't appear.

Even though I've allowed Haloscan, if I don't also allow javascript on the entire site, the haloscan comments links won't appear.

I have to allow java for both site and haloscan in order to get to the comments. Is this common?

I do not know of Haloscan (perhaps post a link).

Java and JavaScript are different.

:oops: [s]Noscan[/s] Noscript relates to JavaScript.
It has no bearing on Java.

So if the problem is Java related, then I would expect your problem to be elsewhere.

is there a keyboard shortcut to allow/block the scripts? i like noscript but it would be better if there was or maybe having it under tools with an arrow next to it. that would be cool thanks.

just install the NoScript extension from www.noscript.net
I use eBay with NoScript - you need to allow the domain for javascript (2 second job - click on the toolbar icon and select <i>allow ebay.com</a>) but it works fine

Explicit script blocking with global allow policy

Post by eyv »

WARNING: possible newbie question :)
Please take this as a newbie mistake if this has been discussed, or a feature request if this is first mentioned. :)
Is there a way to explicitly DISALLOW some sites to run JavaScripts while having a "global allow" policy using NoScript?
I ask because a large number of sites use javascript to control display elements (I KNOW, they should use CSS, but you try telling them), but if there is a global deny policy, I think a website just looks like crap. I don't want to have to re-enable JavaScript on every badly-designed site to see if it looks better. :) I would rather forbid only the sites that i KBOW should not be doing anything JavaScript-ish. Like AdBlock for JavaScript.
Thanks very much,
Eugene

blacklists by default leave you exposed until you add the current site, which may be too late !

What you're asking for is a blacklist.
It is currently not implemented in NoScript, and not by accident.
Main reason behind NoScript development has been preventing exploitation of JavaScript security vulnerabilities, both known and unknown yet:with a whitelist apporach you can't stumble upon a "rogue site" that uses an undisclosed JS vuln to take ownership of your PC, because no site can run JS until you decide it is trusted.
A blacklist approach, on the contrary, would limit NoScript usefulness to a "last resort popup blocker" (because yes, it kills them all :) ), but would seriously limit its security side: it's very unlikely you know every "nasty" site out there and you add them all to your blacklist.
Nevertheless, a future NoScript version will have a blacklist in addition to the main whitelist, at least to mark some sites as "pure crap, don't even ask" and avoid to be notified every time you hit them (e.g. some invasive third party popup advertisement systems).
Of course, when you will be in the (strongly discouraged) "globally allowed" mode, those sites will stay forbidden, as suggested by your post.
