[Invalid] NoScript Breaks Window Sizing

[INVALID]
NoScript [may be] Break[ing] Window Sizing on opening from Session Restore
New Profile
Open FF
Maximize its window
Set FF to restore its session on start up
Open 4 new windows, now a total of 5 windows, all maximized
Quit FF
Restart FF
Result: FF opens it 5 windows, all maximized
Quit FF
Restart FF
Result: FF opens it 5 windows, all maximized
Repeat, oh, 99 or so times.
Result: It seems, that each time FF restores its session, windows sized, maximized.
(I did not test setting the windows to other then maximized.)
That looks to work.
FF 62.0.2 release notes, https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6 ... easenotes/, mention two bugs that may make it different from earlier FF's, not sure?
---------
Now, throw noscript-10.1.9.6rc3.xpi into the mix...
Install NoScript
Quit FF
Restart FF
Result: FF opens it 5 windows, all maximized (most likely)
Repeat, oh, 12 or so times.
Result: Most likely, somewhere in that cycle, windows will start restoring to a non-maximized sizing.
And once that happens they'll persist in opening non-maximized.
Even if you go to each window & maximize them, then go through the Quit / Restart scenario, they will again, at some point start to open non-maximized.
Typically, a focused, maximized window will retain its sizing, but other windows eventually will not.
(I have always [as in for as long as I can remember] seen this behavior & had always attributed it to the browser itself, never thinking an extension might be affecting things. With these recent bug fixes, I thought [first] maybe the fixes may have some bearing on [Windows] taskbar icon ordering - but it did not, NoScript 10 still breaks that, & then I thought, what about window sizing, & it appears that NoScript is affecting that.
Suppose I could do the same test with SeaMonkey [which would not have these recent FF fixes] & NoScript 5 & see...)
