Ah, what a relief! Thanks so much, and really sorry to trouble you! (Thanks also for the strikethrough!)

OK… I have an update on this. First of all, you were correct! Disabling javascript does indeed force the "fake" Google page to appear! So this definitely has nothing to do with NoScript! However, something has just occurred to me, and if I'm right then I am a complete and total idiot… I no...

I've just tried uninstalling and reinstalling NoScript, but still have the same problem whenever it's turned on, and "Release notes" tab is still missing. So I think there are 3 possibilities… 1. I'm using the real, official xpi, which contains malware (I can rule this out if NoScript SHOU...

I just discovered to my horror that NoScript has a default "whitelist" (hidden to users) which allows scripts like YouTube, Google and Gstatic to run automatically without the user's permission! Frankly I find this outrageous! Like many people, I use NoScript for privacy - so I can ONLY al...
