NoScript 2.6.8.4 RC 1

An add-on that allows JavaScript and Java execution only for trusted domains of your choice

NoScript provides extra protection for your Mozilla/Firefox or Flock browser: this extension allows JavaScript and Java execution only for trusted domains of your choice (e.g. your home-banking web site).

This whitelist based pre-emptive script blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even not known yet!) with no loss of functionality...

You can enable JavaScript/Java execution for websites you trust with a simple click on the NoScript statusbar icon or by using the contextual menu, for easier operation in popup statusbar-less windows.

Here are some key features of "NoScript":

• Exclusive protection against DNS-rebinding attacks targeted to routers, including WAN IP variants.
• Several new Anti-anti-adblocker Surrogate Scripts to prevent pages from breaking when ads are disabled.
• NoScript 1.10.x is the last serie supporting Firefox 2.0 and older browsers. It will be updated only if affected by serious security vulnerabilities (very unlikely). This will allow the upcoming NoScript 2.x series to be developed faster and better, by removing legacy compatibility code and fully leveraging the latest APIs and language features. li>Increased ClearClick accuracy on very complex nested pages.
• Built-in ABE ruleset editor.
• Better Surrogate Scripts error management and new built-in surrogates to securify AMO add-ons installation against MITM attacks and improve Google search experience when scripts are disabled.
• Faster and more compatible anti-XSS protection.
• Full protection against Aviv Raff's scriptless tabnagging variant, by blocking refreshes triggered on unfocused untrusted tabs. See the changelog for more details.
• Important ABE enhancements: same domain origin matching (SELF+), same base domain origin matching (SELF++) and INCLUSION pseudo-method for fine-grained subrequests matching, see the updated ABE rules specification for details.
• Experimental external filters for plugin content (e.g. Blitzableiter to sanitize Flash applets). It requires Firefox 3.5 and above, and it can be configured from the new NoScript Options|Advanced|External Filters panel. To activate the built-in Blitzableiter support you need to enable filters, download Blitzableiter binaries and tell NoScript where the executable is. Please notice that Blitzableiter is in its early development stages, and it breaks a lot of Flash content.
• Improved and updated Firefox Mobile (Fennec) support: NoScript's UI has been moved inside the location bar, and options have been simplified down to 4 preset configurations (you can still perform fine-grained cofiguration in about:config or via Weave Sync).
• The long awaited pluggable site info page, can be opened by middle-clicking or shift+clicking on any site entry in NoScript's menus.
• Enhanced usability of universal Flash blocking.
• Improved HTTPS enforcing.
• Strict Transport Security support.
• New Import/Export buttons in the NoScript Options dialog, backup the whole NoScript configuration in a single JSON file, as a disconnected alternative to the Weave/XMark synchronization functionality (Fx 3 and above).

Requirements:

• Firefox 3.0.9 and later
• SeaMonkey 2.0 and later
• Mobile 1.0 - 2.0a1pre

What's New in This Release:

• Fixed SetVariable/GetVariable failing on dynamically created Flash elements, e.g. with SFWObject
