Question about NoScript on Firefox

Often I come across a situation in which I have already allowed scripts for a specific webpage, but in order to view photos or a video link there I have to click on a second "allow" link in the NoScript option menu. Often there are several different addresses I could allow, but I have no idea which of them is the one that will allow my video to run or the pictures to show. I don't want to allow scripts randomly, as that defeats the purpose of the program. Is there a way to know which one the link requires in advance, or should I just keep guessing and googling?

Thanks in advance.

1. I have that problem
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/46442/">Readability seems to require that the primary script be running. As for the others, I think it's just hit and miss. Sometimes, if I'm in a hurray, I will just select temporarily allow all but that rather defeats the purpose. I block anything that sounds like it's a snoop, google analytics, anything with media in the title, etc.

3. Thanks.
I guess I'll keep doing what I've been doing.

2. Same here. I hesitate to tell you my solution
I don't get to see the photos/videos on pages that have dozens of scripts it wants to run and I can't tell which one I need to allow to see what I want.

In extreme situations, like where I just *must* see the (whatever), I will click on the "temporarily allow all on this page" but only after I've taken a look at what they are.

This bugs me to no end.
