Just for the record...
I despise Digg.com and sites like it, personally, but I just typed digg.com into the Address Bar on Firefox 3.5.1 with NoScript 1.9.7 (and 1.9.7.7 is now available, go figure), and I got the main Digg page like this:
I then click the Login link at the top, mid-page, and I get this:
So for me, I got there in two clicks, without issues. As for me logging in, well, I won't be going back to that domain again for any other reasons I can think of.
And note: I never allowed the top level domain of digg.com either, and yet I was able to access the main page and the login page also without issues.
Not sure what's causing your issues, but when I install NoScript for the first time (and that's been a long time, my Firefox installation is "portable" in a way) I do the following:
- I load the addon, restart Firefox, then I go into the NoScript options and I delete everything on the whitelist - everything listed (some stuff is ghosted and non-deletable, so it remains) gets wiped out fresh.
- I set the option to not notify me but only show the popup at the bottom of the application window
That's it, nothing else is modified, it's almost a "stock" NoScript installation I guess because those two options don't modify how it works overall. It's very rare for me to have issues - the only gripe I suppose is on some sites with video content where I have to allow 3 or more domains to finally get the video content, and when I find the one where the video stream is coming from, I then just go back and block the ones that had nothing to do with the primary domain or the stream.
It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing at all, I guess. I'm so used to how it works it's just a non-issue anymore to actually have it running. I go to a new domain for the first time and I'm already clicking on the icon to allow the top level, it's just habit now.
