For now, Firefox doesn't have the features of distinguishing trusted zones and restricted zones. Even though Firefox has the ability to disable scripting, but it can't disable it per domain name basis. It is like "everything or nothing".

Wouldn't it be nice if Firefox has trusted zones and restricted zones just like Internet Explorer. If Firefox has this feature, users shouldn't worry about script running on their trusted zones list. Users are also safe from malicious script when they accidentally go to nasty site that has been added to their restricted zones, since all scripting are disabled.

And also export/import feature for the trusted & restricted sites. It can make life a little easier if users can back up the lists they have accumulated over time.



Reproducible: Always
