2014-10-31 Thread Nariman Gharib

I tried to login (with a fake account I maintain for just such a purpose). Your account is temporarily locked, it says. I get that; it appears I'm trying to login from a strange location. To proceed, I have to ID pictures of friends. Ok, I say. But the page with friends' photos doesn't load,

Hi, Jonathan -- I do know the default, and I did change them to allow for first-party scripts. I agree that TBB's NoScript defaults are really hard to figure out (in comparison to NoScript in vanilla Firefox -- which admittedly is still a complicated setup). However, I assumed that if Facebook
