NoScript -- Differences in Android Mobile?
OK, I know NoScript is not a Mozilla product, but I also know it has a lot of Firefox users and very little help directly from the author. I've been using it for years on Firefox for Windows and love it. Now I have a smart phone and have installed the Firefox and the NoScript Add-on there. What I can't figure out is how to use it.
Example: I go to a site that runs scripts. NoScript for Windows gives me a list of scripts that I can allow or not, and it will remember these site-specific selections. In NoScript for Android I can find no such site-specific list and no way to give such permissions. What do I do?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or references! -- jclarkw

Hi jclarkw,
go to about:addons and go to the NoScript addon. tap options. this will bring you to a page for NoScript settings. Hope this helps with what you're looking for :)

I did that and went to the "Per-site Permissions" tab (if that's what you mean). Two problems: 1) On that page there appears to be no way to add the current site to the white list. It seems I must copy the url from the site page first, then add it to the white list. 2) There I can't find any way to white-list individual scripts, just the whole page. This still does not always permit the one script on the page that's causing the problem and might permit other scripts that I don't want to run.
Probably I'm doing something stupid (new to Android devices), but I can't see it... -- jclarkw

UPDATE -- Yep, I was being stupid: Giorgio Maone (https://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=25391&p=99487#p99487) just pointed out that there's a NoScript entry on the main (Android) menu for the site that brings up the script-specific permissions. (I guess the same thing will happen when I install other add-ons, but this was my first...) Sorry to waste everyone's time. -- jclarkw

You're welcome and glad it's solved :)
