I can see that there is a blocked script for "localhost:1972" in NoScript for a webpage (not public).
But if I right click, "save as" the webpage, then I do a "grep -r 1972" in its files, it doesn't give anything!
How can I find where the localhost:1972 is on the webpage?

You need to read up on the structure and interpretation of URLs. See A Guide to URLs. The "1972" of your question is referring to the port; when you save the web page to your local disk, the 1972 is not part of the data being saved.
You may think of a URL as being like a street address, and a port number as an instruction to go to a specific door. Normally, if you're told to go to an address, you knock on the front door (or ring the doorbell); occasionally, you might be told "... and go to the side door and ring the top bell". That's like going to a non-standard port for the protocol.

I think the askers point is that they don't know where that port number was specified. – jdwolf – 2018-01-26T23:00:42.737
@jdwolf - I'll allow that as a possibility, but without access to the non-public webpage, there's no way to troubleshoot further. If, for example, the calling webpage is also on 'localhost:1972', a relative reference in the
a href=tag would not give a positive result for thegrep, but NoScript would still catch the script. – Jeff Zeitlin – 2018-01-27T19:28:31.047
