Newest NoScript =Slowdowns/Stalls

Guys, is anyone else having issues with the newest NoScript version? It seems to slow down website loading and, when I need to allow scripts to run it tends to stall the browser for, oh, say about 5 seconds before it refreshes the page again. I don't recall having these kinds of problems with NoScript before and wanted to see if anyone else here noticed anything before I went over to NoScripts forums.

 

No issues noticed here with 1.8.7.6....at least so far.

 

Same here.

 

I know what you're talking about. I'm experiencing it too but I wouldn't describe it as a slowdown. More a "are you sure you want to allow this site to run script on your computer?" type of pause that the author programmed into it. It's been that way for the last two or three releases from NoScript. Great extension.

 

Hmm, well, at least I'm not alone, lol. I've also noticed the XSS/Crossscript thing is getting very very strong, almost to the point that I wonder if some of these blocks are not FP's. But that's a whole other thread, lol.

 

noscript changed the behaviour recently, maybe you're not clicking outside the menu (or hitting Esc) to tell noscript you've made the changes you want?

if that's it, i think , right-clicking the menu is the old behaviour and left-clicking is the changed behaviour.

edit: this is what i'm talking about -

Thanks for the tip.

 

It doesn't make a difference in the clicking, it just seems slightly slower now. It's no showstopper, I just happened to notice the difference.

 

Thought it was just me that noticed. When I allow a script to run, there's about a 5 second pause before the page refreshes. Great plugin, but kind of annoying when you allow scripts one at a time, until you get the right one needed.

 

Yes, plus, you have to be awful careful about which script you allow to run. For instance, which of these scripts should you allow to run?

1. 819:axels-fun:412

2. exponential.com

Those are two real options in the NoScript menu on several websites. I know the answer, clicking "axels-fun" is an invite for problems. Exponential.com is a harmless ad and isn't needed for functioning of the websites. But not everyone is going to know that, and by the time you allow 10 scripts, trying to get that menu on a site to work, God knows what you've allowed.

 

i just install it for checking , it doesn't slow any speed in here , also i use flashblock so this add on is totally useless for me

also it blocks this forum and all others one when try to add any smiles


so u add this and many more to "exclusion" list , and at the end of the day you find your self allow it more than denied it

 

If using Noscript are the below settings in FF really needed which never showed any warnings even when deliberately visiting known compromising sites.

You could try turning them off and see if there's any speed improvement?

 

The newer Noscript versions also have a new "sticky" feature where the noscript status bar menu now stays visible until you click anywhere else on the Firefox screen.

This is so you can click and allow multiple javascript domains without having to click the Noscript icon for every domain you want to allow.

So this might be perceived as "lag" because it looks like the noscript popup menu doesn't go away.

To turn this off and go back to the old behaviour, go into "about:config"

and search for "noscript.stickyUI"

set that to false
