It took no less than five release candidates for NoScript extension for Firefox to reach version 2.6.6, which comes with per-window private browsing support to some background requests.

Per-window private browsing is a feature introduced in the latest stable version of Mozilla Firefox.

Newly available in NoScript 2.6.6 is the 360Haven surrogate that permits a site to work with first-party scripts and blocks ads and tracking scripts.

The default whitelist has been extended with more dependencies for Microsoft mail services. Also improved is the channel cloning for internal redirections and handling for some moz-null principal instances in ABE requests.

Modifications relating to XSS (cross-site scripting) protection include repairing a character class bug and a potential jQuery-based injection.

NoScript allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted websites of your choice. It is easy to use and configure and you can download it from this page.
