Ok, so after I posted those last messages on Friday, I went in to my profile directory via Windows Explorer, and in the security settings, I manually added Everyone to the permissions settings, and granted them "Full control" (to the profile directory, and recursively to every item thereunder).
Have had no issues since then (3 days), after previously having NoScript crash, as I said, about twice a day.
I am hopeful that this has fixed it.
For what it's worth, before I did this, the previous permissions allowed Full Control to SYSTEM, to myself, and to Administrators. I don't know if this is correct, or if it's not, what the permissions are supposed to be. I also therefore don't know if I've potentially opened up a security hole by doing this? When I check running processes, both firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe are running as me, so as far as I can tell, they *should* have already had full control to the profile directory, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
