Comment:

 Below is a patch for review. It introduces a pref,
 "extensions.torbutton.noscript_persist" that is disabled by default. When
 enabled, it allows per-site settings to be persisted in NoScript. Note
 that, even with the pref enabled, if the user changes the security slider
 setting, all custom per-site settings are lost.

 However, enabling this pref is dangerous in my opinion and should only be
 used with caution.
