It's why Protected Mode (and AppArmor) are better than NoScript
Slowly, but inevitably, the "do no visit unknown and potentially harmful sites" security tip is starting to lose its charm.

Don't get me wrong, I use NoScript but it fails this test. The instant you "trust" a site and turn on scripting, you could be vulnerable.

NoScript is a good layer of defense but people are mistaken when they say that Firefox + NoScript is a security panacea. Come on Mozilla, Vista users need a Protected Mode capable Firefox.
