Dear Tor developers,
I am sorry to ask such a basic question but I am confused by
whether I should have the Tor browser set to;
a. Temporary allow this page
b. Revoke Temporary Permissions
c. allow scripts globally
After I downloaded the Tor's browser a few days ago it was working perfectly
but I did not notice after the download which of the three settings above
was set.
Today I perhaps made the error of changing the setting to revoke temporary
permissions, but after I did this an encrypted email website I just began
to use stated that it would not allow access because JavaScript needed to
be
enabled.
After changing the setting to "Temporary allow this page" then I could
again access email in one encrypted email service. However now I can no
longer access another encrypted email service (an impressive one)which has
been working perfectly for me for weeks.
So please inform me which setting I should be using. (Or alternatively I
could delete the Tor browser and just install it again to see the initial
setting)
Also, I thought it would be helpful to forward some important information
I just encountered today. Please read the ARS Technica article at the
link below. I found this by way of a Reddit thread.

Tor is a tremendous service and everyone certainly appreciates your
diligent efforts.
Thank you and I am looking forward to your assistance.
