I posted Friday about this oddity. Now I've got more data, and what's
happening is this: if I tell noscript to enable youtube and googlevideo in
one tab, not only does it affect *all* tabs, but also affects another
browser window opened from the first browser window.
Anyone have any clues for a workaround fix?

I've heard that latest (or maybe soon to come) will have some amount of process separation, though not necessarily every tab/window. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

A workaround is to have a separate profile for each website (or group of websites) that you visit a lot. I've got over 20 profiles in Pale Moon ( a Firefox fork ) which still operates similarly to Firefox. Your program launcher/menubar would need to have entries corresponding to the separate profiles e.g. firefox -new-instance -p google firefox -new-instance -p slashdot firefox -new-instance -p wordpress firefox -new-instance -p youtube etc, etc. -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes at waltdnes.org>
