----------------------------+--------------------------
 TBB customises NoScript to only allow a simple toggle between global allow
 / global deny of scripts.  That's a reasonable attempt to make a hard-to-
 use tool more comprehensible for many types of users.

 Power users however have good reasons to want NoScript's default
 whitelist-based UI instead.  For instance, a user may wish to allow Google
 JS in order to be able to solve CAPTCHAs and use Google's search engine,
 but not want to take the risks of JS-dependent vulnerabilities on every
 other site they visit with TBB.

 Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to make that happen in the TBB
 NoScript UI.
