by Firefox user 13551289, 7 years agoOk, I just got the update and have to say I really hate the new version and am considering dumping it completely. There are a lot of reasons why.
Under the old version, when you visit a new website, it shows a popup saying that scripts are disabled and giving you a quick option to temporarily or permanently enable scripts for just that website. Under the new version, you don't even know if the scripts are blocked, and if the website is malfunctioning because it needs its scripts, or what.
Also, the new UI really sucks. Everything is all icons now and I don't have a clue what any of them do. Am I allowing scripts or blocking them? Am I permanently allowing them or just temporarily? You could at least give us the option to go back to the classic interface.
I've also noticed that for every single website I go to, I have to tell it not to allow XSS from that website to facebook.com. It's really annoying. There is no option to just say, don't allow XSS from anywhere to facebook.com. Under the old version, it only gave me an XSS warning for a certain few websites which I could then do an unsafe reload. Now it's like there's cross-scripts everywhere.
Ok so maybe a useful feature would be to allow for example facebook.com (seems to be the main offender here) when I'm ON facebook.com, but disable it when any other website tries to cross-script to it.
Anyway to sum it up, the new version nags me incessantly and isn't clear enough about what's going on for me to figure out how to allow the scripts I want and block the ones I don't. Please go back to the old version.

posted 7 years ago1) The UI shows you all the domains that are trying to run active content, just like before, but more compact. You can allow them individually (by assigning the TRUSTED preset), leave them not running (DEFAULT), blacklisting (UNTRUSTED) or even assign CUSTOM permissions. Not just that, but better than before if you can modify each preset on the fly and even see the minimum permissions needed for the site to work (they've got a pink background).
2) To assign the TRUSTED preset temporarily, you just click it once. To make it permanent, you click the clock icon and make it fade away (temporary->permanent).
3) The XSS filter now has a "Always block requests from a.com to b.com" option, that you can use exactly the way you say you want.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18300440, a month agoThis addon is really nice, until recently. For whatever reason, it was completely reset on all my devices, so I am in the process of ADDING back all the custom setting and it is annoying... I almost uninstalled it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18420765, a month agoAbsolute necessity: it's the closest a user can get to controlling the execution flow of the browser without intervening at the source level, which would require someone to build the project from source
- Rated 4 out of 5by DrWhoFan13, a month agoA recent change broke a website, and refreshing the extension didn't help.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sam, a month agoI think the user interface could use more work with limited options to change the appearance. It may help that you use a basic or general rule set on file, as you may be setting rules for things that are essential to browsing. You can only do this by importing a text file. This is a great extension for having more control to what is loaded into browsing.
