The way I handle this is by creating a special profile which has no
extensions or security settings.

Inside your desktop manager open a terminal session and run 'firefox
-P --no-remote'  The no-remote option opens a new Firefox window and
session whether or not you already have one running.  Then press
'Create Profile', give it a name, and use that whenever you get into a
Firefox / Extensions conflict on a particular web site.

I have my Firefox panel launcher set up to use 'firefox -P
--no-remote' always. Tthis allows me vastly more flexibility dealing
with multiple websites at the price of a trivial delay during the
browser start-up.

This problem is the result of recent changes made to the extensions
interface. I can hardly wait to see what is broken with v57.

No, your saved permissions will not be affected.
Just click on "Forbid scripts globally" and you will be right back to where 
you were before.


Thanks.
My notion was correct.
Once I got there,
I did a "Forbid scripts globally" and an "allow this page".

I've been running noscript for years, but the version that showed up a
couple-three weeks ago suddenly is really screwed up. I'll go to a page,
and want to temporarily want to allow several links, and there's *nothing*
to emaible. But if I got to the toolbar, tools, add-ons, disable noscript,
then re-enable it, it works again...

The specific claim is "Atlassian Cloud - Unable to Set Session Cookie".

According to Firefox, I have third-party cookies enabled,

[CentOS] NoScript allow scripts globally reversible?

I'm running NoScript because otherwise Firefox freezes up a lot.
Recently I've had difficulty accessing a site.
I suspect the reason is that it uses redirection in a way that
frustrates my efforts to give it permission.
To test the notion, I'm considering temporarily allowing script globally.
How hard is it to reverse?
Will I need to redo previous permissions one at a time?
