I don't like NoScript redirecting the browser on its release notes page every time I upgrade it. Where's my NoScript configuration stored? How can I backup or migrate it? How can I reset it? I've never seen such a file type! What the hell am I supposed to do with this kind of file? What is the license of NoScript and its source code?Ģ - installing / uninstalling / migrating / updates 2.1 What do the different NoScript icons mean? JavaScript enabled but keeping Java and Flash blocked until I click above the NoScript placeholder? When I enable "JavaScript" globally, Java and Flash are enabled too. Why should I allow JavaScript, Java, Flash and plugin execution only for trusted sites? Why can I sometimes see about:blank and/or wyciwyg: entries in my NoScript menu? What scripts are causing this? Have I got to disable Java and/or Plugins from Firefox options to browse safely with NoScript ? Have I got to disable JavaScript from Firefox options to browse safely with NoScript? What is that weird sound that I hear when I open a web page? What websites are in the default whitelist and why? With hardly any user intervention required, NoScript offers a superb level of protection against site borne security threats and ensures that you have full control over what is allowed to run in your browser window.What is that strange, evil blue being in the NoScript logo?

The settings you choose to use can be quickly backed up by saving them as a bookmark so they can be restored when you have to reinstall, or transferred to another computer.

You can choose to be notified when a script is blocked, so should a site fail to function as expected you can opt to enable individual page elements as required. When you encounter such as site, you can easily add it to a whitelist so that scripts will be allowed to run now and in the future - ideal for banking and shopping sites.

The addon automatically blocks all such content, but there may well be occasions when you need it to run. NoScript is a Firefox addon that can be used to prevent the running of scripts on the sites you visit. In addition to reducing the performance of sites, there is also the potential for scripts to be used for malicious purposes. Web plugins such as Flash, Java and JavaScript can be used to add a range of interesting features to web sites, but there are also a number of downsides.
