BUG - when clicking NoScript icon while on a specific page

Post by geek99 »

NoScript 10.1.6.2
Firefox 57.0.3
Windows 7

While on this page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

... if I click the NoScript icon (in the Firefox toolbar), the NoScript Options page opens (instead of a drop down for the given page).

Can anyone else reproduce this bug?

barbaz: thanks for the QUICK reply.

I wonder if a warning message should be displayed when this happens (i.e., when one is on AMO or Firefox internal page and clicks NoScript icon) ... so other users (who do not browse this forum) will not think the behavior is a bug?


Also ... what is your opinion about setting privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager to TRUE in order to get around the AMO restriction for WebExtensions?

I don't know enough about that setting to have an opinion about it, sorry.

In case it helps, here's where it's used in the Firefox source code - https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release ... API.cpp#25
