[conspire] NoScript fine-tuning (was: Firefox question)

Hi, Paul.  Sorry about the delay in getting back to you -- and I also
meant to inquire with you about this on the Jitsi Meet conference, but
you signed off just before I could snag your attention.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a Firefox question, but rather one concerning
the NoScript extension (thus my change of your Subject header).  

Yes, NoScript does have a WebUI for controlling how it works when you 
visit any particular Web site's pages, allowing you to pick and choose
which third-party (and not third-party) sites' Javascript snippets to
execute when loading a page from that site.  I don't happen to have
NoScript in front of me, so I'm consulting online information.

Here's a runthrough with screenshots purporting to explain how to block
and then unblock things:

Among those tutorials, I'm pretty sure you'll find enough information.
