Problem

If a script blocker is blocking a web site because the user has not granted
access, Services will be unable to connect to that web site until access is
granted by the user.

Action Taken

Configured my script blocker (NoScript) to allow access to each web site before
attempting to setup Services.

Current Behavior

If NoScript is blocking a site, and the user clicks on the Services button in
the Toolbar, the Services popup window appears with an error message stating:

Iceweasel is unable to
connect with
http:// . . . linkedin . . .
right now

Suggested Behavior

Is it possible to check for the presence of a script blocker and advise the
user to check and see if the requested site is being blocked?

If not then the user can still be advised that a script or other blocker may be
denying access . . .
