Using a safe and supported browser version, rather than one with publicly known security bugs, trumps the inconvenience of installing a statically compiled Firefox from the official Mozilla-provided Linux tarball or "downgrading" to the ESR version IMHO. But it's just a matter of priorities, I guess.

You can just upgrade Firefox, though :)

Likely 10.1.6.5 from https://noscript.net/feed
Thanks. That version seems to work for me. I've locked it at that version (turned off updates) for now.

It's not "known to break" (until now, at least), but of course unsupported versions (any version number lower than current stable, except ESR) can't be as much tested as supported ones.
Sure you can. Just run a few VMs that are using distributions that are only ~1 year old.

IMNSHO, an "auto update" should not cause loading a version that is known to break. If an update requires features not supported by the browser then the auto-update should not update to that version.

Thanks.

10.7.3 does the trick for me as well. No more 'reload'-loops. Thank you for the quick fixing, Giorgio!

Everything is back to normal for my browsing. Thank you all for your effort and the continued maintenance of a really outstanding tool... and all for free! How could it possibly be better?!

Where exactly? And with all the other extensions disabled?

Need to take back my last statement. No relation to uBO. It worked fine for a moment after installation now the thousands of scripts are back. It's NS that's broken.

Re: NoScript suddenly not working

by Guest » Fri Mar 16, 2018 8:23 pm

I checked the babymetal site mentioned above and closed it after a second or so with NS showing 50000 (!) scripts. Then I updated uBO from 1.5.10 to 1.5.14 and all is fine again. Any idea what's going on?

I'm seeing the same behavior as well. If you go here: http://www.cracked.com/article_25471_5- ... exist.html, I get a noscript icon indicating two sources. If I click the icon, I get the prompt to reload the page. If I click OK, the page reloads. The icon counter briefly goes to 15 before going back down to 2. This page: http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-ways-your ... lly-wrong/, the counter is 16, and if I click the NS icon, it asks to reload. When it does, it stays at 16.

Firefox 59.0 / 64-bit, Windows 7 w/ NoScript 10.1.7.2.
