Options - Import / Export Ineffectual (under specific circumstances)
Set FF to restore session on startup
Open FF, open some tabs, make one of the tabs, moz-extension://30f1e135-339c-4a0e-97ba-9b9bfc7a962e/ui/options.html#;tab-main-tabs=0 (the NoScript Options "window") & give it focus.
Quit FF
Open FF
Results:
FF opens, session is restored, focused tab is moz-extension://30f1e135-339c-4a0e-97ba-9b9bfc7a962e/ui/options.html#;tab-main-tabs=0
All as expected.
Do NOT click in the Mozilla Options window.
Instead click either the Import or the Export button.
Results:
Button "depresses", if you will, but that is the extent of it.
No expected dialogs appear.
(This might be a FF bug, not sure, or maybe not?
Similarly, create a new Profile.
Open FF.
FF opens to, well I'm not sure where, it doesn't actually say?
[One tab says, "Take FF with You" & some crap about FF Accounts & email & Sync. The other looks to be some "privacy" (cough) notice.]
Do NOT click into the FF window.
Drag & drop noscript-10.1.9.7rc3.xpi into the non-specified window.
Result:
Nothing.
No prompt to install NoScript, no indication that anything has happened.
[What a wonderful UX.]
Now, click into that non-specified window.
Result:
Prompt to install NoScript.)

Appears you can't actually open moz-extension://30f1e135-339c-4a0e-97ba-9b9bfc7a962e/ui/options.html#;tab-main-tabs=0 "directly"?
So you have to do it the old fashion way, from the NoScript Options icon
.

Oh yeah, also in these circumstances, the NoScript Options page does not display fully, properly.
