Re: Configuring NoScript for Firefox
For those who are unaware that is NoScript, is a plugin for Mozilla Firefox which blocks any malicious code on pages that are not in the list of sites on which it relies. You can block Java , JavaScript and other elements, either temporarily or permanently. Allow active content to run only from sites you trust, and protect yourself against XSS and Clickjacking attacks. It helps you to disable the execution of malicious javascript or custom-made something that is outside of fair play, thanks to its power, edits Adblockplus configurations. The purpose of this application is to protect users of Mozilla Firefox using the approach shown in the preceding paragraph to the scripts and accessories.

Once installed NoScript icon go to the bottom of your browser, click the right mouse button, choose Options from the popup menu and go to the Plugins tab.NoScript serves to block javascripts that can be malignant. Actually blocks everything and one must take care to add to trusted zone considered secure pages, such as You Tube.

After restarting Firefox, if the addon does not open automatically, however window showing just installed the new add, try to open it manually from the menu Tools -> Add-ons and click the Options button on the NoScript extension. In the Noscript settings window go to the General Tab. Then switch to the Whitelist tab. This page is a list of websites which allows you to run scripts and accessories. Here you can remove a particular site by selecting from the list and pressing the Delete Site (s) selected website (s). Then switch to the Plugins tab, which supplements shown to be blocked websites unreliable, ie, unknown anywhere except those indicated as reliable we have to visit them, and also those we have specifically indicated as unreliable .

Re: Configuring NoScript for Firefox
Under the Layout tab of the NoScript window, you can choose the options that we offer NoScript to visit a page, so that we can indicate that it is reliable or unreliable. When you access a website that contains scripts or additions, you will see that the bottom of Firefox is a small bar that tells us that NoScript has blocked scripts or add-ons website. In most cases, there is no need to do anything. The presence of this bar is purely informative. After the aforementioned bar display, it could happen to notice that some part of the website you're visiting does not work. For example, does not form, or send a message to a forum, a menu does not work that should allow us to choose between several options or does not enter a username and password. In this case, and unless consider that the website you are visiting is trustworthy, you must press the Options button on the toolbar NoScript.
