I am getting a Cross side scripting issue in Youtube today. I have noscript installed in firefox and it popsup this message
NoScript filtered a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attempt from YouTube

Yup I get this, since I too have NoScript extension installed. I don't understand the cryptic message though, and hence am ignoring it.

Offtopic PS: Are you trying to watch some ahem video since you are in Private mode! :D

Nope.. I use Private/Incognito modes to check unknown links or issues or when making online transactions .. :p

i know its late but still:
NoScript - JavaScript/Java/Flash blocker for a safer Firefox experience! - what is it? - InformAction
Worked around a XSS filter issue caused by Youtube's comment widget being passed JavaScript functions in cross-site requests (!).
