[Extension] NoScript - Firefox Extension 1.1.2

Thanks, GercekSeytan .

The changelog is up now at the link you posted.

I do believe that NoScript is more efficient now (up to 100x better performance, according to the changelog).

What a great extension!

reply to GercekSeytan
super, thanks for the heads up!

reply to GercekSeytan
Thanks GercekSeytan,

Giorgio really beefed up the blocking and page reload is much faster.

I wonder if there will be any change at www.forbs.com »[FireFox] "Script Causing Firefox to Run Slow" , with 1.1.2 , or will the site still force NS Whitelisting of parts of it's marketing components, in order to load and properly function?

Well Bobby P. I do not have enough to my name to visit Forbes.com so you are on your own to test it.

Other then that NoScript is working fine on the lesser sites I visit discounting this one of course.

I was skeptical installing this extension again after the less then stellar performance from the last version but I figure what the hay.

Does not install with Mozilla 1.7.11
I got an error message at the end of download process: "invalid registration in chrome component, installation failed"

I already have the 1.09 version installed (Mozilla), maybe it's the caveat ?
I don't know how to de-install the previous version.
Please help.

I actually stopped by Forbes for a brief visit and had no issues what so ever. They have a ton of js to approve plus their multiple cookies that I granted session only. I have no third party cookies.

I had to leave after a short time as rich people and their wares chafe my a-s.

From the NoScript Mozillazine forum thread.

For those who are experiencing the same issue mehdi_c had with temporary sites, I've posted a fixed build on addons.mozilla.org.

What's this NoScript extension? Why are you guys so crazy about it? Why would I want NoScript? I mean Proxo takes care of that sort of stuff so why not just use Proxo? Flash can be blocked/toggled in Proxo or just not downloaded. I never install Flash or Java for Fx. I use IE if I need Java for speed tests and I have never needed Java for anything except my ISP's speed test. So what is so awesome about this NoScript extension? It would mess with Grease Monkey right?

Don't like it, don't use it, its a free country. I don't like proxies so I don't use them.

Use what ever you want Mele.

NoScript gives greater control over the filter based Proxomitron IMHO.

Grease Monkey is fine until scripts stop working or are blocked by the Web Site dev which is happening more and more as Grease Monkey can break pages. Unless you know code the scripts are useless once they break and no one is there to fix them. Also the chance of Security Abuse has already been brought up.

I like greater control over what I block. Flashblock, Adblock, and NoScript are easy tools for anyone and you can see the tool working on a page.

Adblock uses filters and misses things, but you can train it as you use it.

Flashblock just blocks all flash until you allow it/white list.

NoScript allows you to control all js on a page at the same time allowing the user to see just how much js is being used.

Filter based blockers are fine for the avg. user as they do not have to do much work and do not have to be an urber geek. For mom and pop setups tools like popup blocker, adblock w/ updater and flashblock are fine for GP.

I don't have anything to add to what Grail Knight said.

What's "GP"?
