That could be the problem. You should NEVER run Firefox as root. Ever. ESPECIALLY not that way - it risks corrupting files in your own home folder.

To other affected Linux users: have you ever run Firefox as root on the affected system?

True, root equals risk, I only did that to see if the outcome was different.

some more details

on the options page:
* freeze on open: seems to occur when added many new entries before
* resizing window: long freeze
* freeze when using: when toggling too fast
* just slow response: when doing everything slowly
* reducing window size to vertically half screen size makes everything fast as normal (with long lists!)

* can confirm black boxes on other tabs after freeze event sometimes
* no such problems in the pop-up (but lists are not as long)
* when window is completely frozen, CPU of Firefox processes is at 0%
* not an older hardware problem!

(hope it helps)

EDIT: Still there in Version 10.1.5.6rc2

Is it likely to be more of a Firefox bug, because only on Linux so far?

Possibly but other addons that do basically the same task do not have this issue that i have seen. Umatrix for example.

I can confirm this happening on Windows 10, on 2 different machines. It locks up anywhere from the first site I hit to a couple in. Pages will not load and I can only shut down FF to restore. Trying to go into the noscript config menu while this occurs brings up a Firefox banner saying a website page is slow. Weird I did not experience this issue until I think 10.1.5.x, but now it happens no matter what version I back down to. Renders NoScript completely unusable. Since I can't back down to lower versions to get it to work, could it be related to something in the config files themselves?

Tested on Firefox 57 to 57.0.2
Windows 10 - Fall Creators Update
Happens now on 10.1.2 to 10.1.5.5

TRowe

Hi trowe. I found a few sites being very slow, freezes, locking up with NoScript 10.1.5.5. But things get better with later beta versions. I am on 10.1.5.6rc5. I like this version. The websites that I found problematic with 10.1.5.5 are usable with the version I am at now. Tomorrow, I ll move to the latest beta whatever that is.

I think you should update to stable 10.1.5.6. By the way, I am also in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and using Firefox 57.0.2 since yesterday. The combo I am using of NoScript and Firefox feels pretty good.

Bo

EDIT:
(Initial issue still there in v 10.1.5.7)

Well, 10.1.5.6 is much better, though still not correct.

I still experience all the the initial symptoms: configuration page is slow to render, display is missing sections, and all other tabs are affected and turn black. However, I no longer need to close FF to restart. When I close the NoScript config page, and wait a little bit, FF recovers and my other tabs look fine.

Interestingly, one machine seems to have cleared up (knock on wood), the other is still unusable. I can't figure out what made the one work. Trying 10.1.5.6 and then 10.1.5.7 seems to give me a little more time before everything locks up but it still does. I've tried resets, removing the only other addon (uBO) and reinstalling. What can I clean out of the profile or config to completely do a fresh reinstall?

Thanks,
Trowe

Confirmed for NoScript 10.1.5.7 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Firefox 57.0.1. Sometimes, the browser even crashes with NoScript activated.
It works fine on Windows 7 with Firefox 57.0.2 .
Probably a rendering issue (maybe specific to x-server on linux) that needs to be fixed by Mozilla. Anyhow, makes NoScript unusable for me at the moment.

Please check 10.1.5.8rc1, thanks.

No luck with 10.1.5.8rc1

I was able to get it working for a while by doing the following:

disable noscript in add-ons
downgrade to 10.1.5.6
re-enable noscript

I'm not sure it's repeatable yet nor if that or luck was what worked, but it lasted a few hours until I decided to do the true test and shutdown/restart Firefox. Upon starting Firefox, I'm back to it freezing again. Again, this is on Windows 10.

trowe wrote:Again, this is on Windows 10.

We apparently have two separate issues here, one probably related to rendering fatigue on Linux, and something more elusive on Windows.
I suggest we split the Windows one in a separate thread if feedback from Linux users suggests 10.1.5.8rc1 helps.

Thanks Giorgio,

Let me know if there's something I can try to help troubleshoot. I cannot currently recreate getting it to work again by doing the steps I posted above.
