 If so, you should add  [System+Principal] (yes, with the "+" instead of "
 "), which is in NoScript's default and should fix half of the cases.

 Actually, we don't have a customized whitelist. We are just using NoScript
 as is in that regard. What do you mean with "which is in NoScript's
 default"? If I open a clean new Firefox profile and install NoScript I get
 exactly the same XSS protection exceptions as we ship in Tor Browser and
 `[System+Principal]` is not among them.
