How do I whitelist the 'file:' scheme in the NoScript preferences so I can use Zotero?

I am using Firefox 15.0. When I opened Zotero, I received the message, "The NoScript extension is preventing Zotero from displaying notes. To use NoScript and Zotero together, whitelist the 'file:' scheme in the NoScript preferences and restart Firefox."

I looked under NoScript for preferences, but I could not find any references to "preferences." What does the message mean and how do I get Zotero and NoScript to work together?

NoScript has its own support forum, where they can help you with NoScript preferences such as that. I do use NoScript myself, but at a very basic level of proficiency. Have you tried file: to the Whitelist in NoScript Options?

Thanks, the-edmeister. I have tried looking at various entries in the list at your link. However, the top-level entries in the list are so generic that I have not found anything useful even after a couple of hours poking around in various lists.

What is the message trying to tell me (see my first entry)? After my earlier unsuccessful attempts to find what it seems to be indicating, I have realized the message is gibberish to me at this point.

Thank you, the-edmeister. I added 'file:' (without the quotes) to the whitelist, and that solved the problem. I will contact Zotero to ask that their message be rewritten for non-experts.
