I found the problem in my system.
I use Firefox Portable, up to the version 56.0.2 (I have several folders and versions, but
NOT 57).
I don't know why - I still have to find the cause, maybe antivirus - it is not capable anymore to write correctly settings to his file
prefs.js,
path: c:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\Data\profile.
So when I make some updates, for example Firefox from 56.0.1 to 56.0.2, prefs.js reports
user_pref("noscript.firstRunRedirection.pending", "5.1.2");
user_pref("noscript.version", "5.1.2");
while i already have 5.1.5. The above lines don't change anymore.
This forces Firefox to open the update page of NoScript every time I launch it, and makes the Noscript icon disappear.
I edited manually the file, modifying the lines in
user_pref("noscript.firstRunRedirection.pending", "5.1.5");
user_pref("noscript.version", "5.1.5");
the icon is back and the update page doesn't open anymore.
Bye, David
