Re: [Bug-librejs] Yahoo Mail Classic viewing e-mails is broken

[Loic J. Duros]

Hello:

Thanks for your report.

This issue might be either because of a different query appended to the 
end of the url, or it could also be because the page contains iFrame. 
iFrames are technically different pages with different urls loaded. We 
might add a feature to allow iFrames when users click on "allow all 
scripts on this page", but many people also want to allow a page while 
still refusing iframes. Imagine a page that contains YouTube videos in 
an iFrame, you might want to allow a page, but do not want to allow the 
YouTube iframe, in fact you may not even know they are there.

There is a solution if you want to allow all scripts from that site. I 
don't recommend doing this since the JavaScript you are talking about is 
nonfree software, but this is entirely up to you. This solution is valid 
for any url:

You can choose to whitelist the entire domain. To do that, enter in your 
location bar: about:addons

Click on the "extensions" tab, then where you see LibreJS, click on 
"Options" or "Preferences". You should see a whitelist input field 
there. Entering something like "*.mail.yahoo.com" without the quotes in 
the field would allow all the scripts from the page you mentioned, along 
with all the other pages from that hostname.

Thanks,

Loic
