Comment (by mikeperry):

 gk - I noticed a bug with noscript.globalHTTPSWhitelist. It seems that it
 improperly blocks some elements in https pages unless https: is also added
 to the NoScript whitelist. I notified Giorgio about this bug, but he has
 not fixed it yet. We may want to add "https:" to the NoScript pref
 capability.policy.maonoscript.sites as a workaround until this is fixed.

 I think that with noscript.cascadePermissions and
 noscript.cascadePermissions, having https: in the whitelist still does not
 allow scripts if the url bar is http, but we should also verify this.
