    And click 'add to firefox'

    Never use BETA software

    Noscript - blocks ALL scripts on a webpage. RIGHT CLICK the 'S' bottom right and 'allow' which scripts are needed for the webpage to run

    Rapport - I wouldnt touch it with a bargepole. Its been know to slow MANY computers down and conflict with software in the hundreds.
    Hi, EnRIK,is the default postion with noscript, to only allow enough for the page to be displayed? Several insist Javascript is enabled, so, I allow temporary, and it,s ok.? Only act if prompted?

    default is blocks all scripts, if you temporary allow a bad one, it's just as bad as not having noscript, there is no easy way of knowing what's good and what's bad, but at least it protects you from getting infected as soon as you visit a site with links to bad scripts.
