A question about a Firefox popup

Can simply allow scripts for trusted domains to make things a little easier.

I have No Script installed, but I'm not sure I have it configured correctly.

How can I get it to "allow scripts for trusted domains"?

Any other config tips appreciated.

I'm not sure I'm using it right. I constantly find myself poking the red S to "temporarily allow all this page" when I want to view something it's blocking. I don't make it a practice to whitelist individual sites.

As an aside---with the default config on No Script, the only tests I fail are 12 and 22. Not sure why I pass 7 and 8 and you don't.

The domain shown in your screenshot doesn't seem to exist. Personally I would never click those download buttons but instead copy the URL into a text document to see what it is. Additionally use "Inspect Element" to get the link.

Test pop-up blocker here:

Hey thanks for that link. Mine passed all but a couple.

Which begs the question of how the website was displayed.

Most of the ".net" URLs, in these recent threads did not exist on the day that the post was made:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1129758

https://community.norton.com/en/foru...ox-despite-nis

Some crawler seems to have harvested the URLs and registered some of the domains within a day or two.

That is a good question. I don't have to do anything either, the game can just be sitting there and a new page will load up like the one I posted. There is also another little pop up window that opens with something about java script in it which I didn't catch in this pic. Here it is (I thought I had deleted it, but it was still in my junk folder).

Well you have to define trusted domains on a site by site basis. Once trusted they're added to the whitelist but can also be removed from it. However if you don't wan't to whitelist sites then that's no use.

I meant that I don't pass 7 & 8 with Noscript disabled.

Check out the user.js that can be downloaded here:

A comprehensive list of Firefox privacy and security settings - gHacks Tech News

You can inspect the contents using your text editor and choose what to apply.

Then there's ConfigFox (works with non default profiles/ firefox variants)

Note changes made to profile via user.js will be written to prefs.js unless configured not to via ConfigFox > View > Preferences.

Obviously user.js and prefs.js need to be backed up before messing about or ideally create a full profile backup.

That same JS file is mentioned in one of the threads that I linked to.
I would not be too happy that this website can be displayed. The website could do damage to your computer - even if you don't click on any links.
