Firefox keeps changing NoScript permissions.
Okay now I'm perplexed.
Once is a fat finger fudge. Twice is a typo habit. Three times is just doing something wrong. But this has been going on all day.. I set Pelican Parts javascript to "trusted" and Google-Analytics to "untrusted". Then they get reversed every ten minutes or so. Firefox is not allowing Google to be blocked.

That's weird, I've got no explanation. I certainly haven't had that problem.
Have you tried rebooting?

Yeah. Something wonky is going on.
Normally "trusted" stays "trusted". Same with "untrusted". The "allow all temporary" remains only until "revoke temporary permissions" is clicked. Today everything is getting switched around. No updates are running in background.

Too big to fail
|
I have several machines with FireFox+NoScript; on one of them, every time I restart the browser, noScript "forgets" the setting for the PiHole, so I have to re-enable it.

Another Firefox oddity..
(besides spell correct, which invents a dozen imaginary English words instead providing the obvious) Copy-paste text doesn't work. It won't copy. Or it places the text at the end despite the cursor at the front. Or it won't copy until the 5th try. No hidden syntax is there. It's all text.

Maybe you're computer's got the 'rona?
Do you have any add-ons in Firefox? What version are you running?

Latest version. Easy screenshot app, EasyYTdownloader, Flash and Video downloader, NoScript. Nothing special.

A possible clue:
Whenever I played a .webm using Firefox, NoScript would block it a few times and then add it to the list of allowed permissions. This of course leaves a history of .webm's played and creates a history of usage. Manually deleting all of these permissions on file would be impossible. CCleaner would normally not erase this history before, but apparently now it has started to. (I think.) I set all permissions to "blocked" and rebooted Firefox with and without cleaning. -Without cleaning, the permissions page stays blank after re-start. Nothing is shown. A blank page. -With cleaning, all the websites are there again and enabled as "trusted" EDIT: Definitely found the cause. Erasing "compact databases" in CCLeaner/Applications/Firefox resets all the scripts, and then on restart Firefox defaults them to "trusted". Just uncheck this box and your setting won't change.
