UI-less windows may "lose" ability to interact with NoScript

UI-less (or otherwise functionality limited) windows may "lose" ability to interact with NoScript.
Well, maybe, or maybe that is what is going on, kind of.

Allow venicelassicradio.eu
Click, Play.
A "UI-less" (no NoScript icon shows) window popups up.
The icons on that window do not display (correctly).
Nonetheless, click them, figuring that you should be able to make them work, have some music play.
Still no playback.
Hmm.
Then you fart around, & think, context menu.
Ah, NoScript does show up there.
So you click it, & you see this 5.xxx.xxx.xxx domain, you say to yourself, that looks promising.
And you allow that domain.

Controls now show up, you click the Play icon, & music to your ears.

Lets try again... starting over (no, not with then entire FF/Profile deal) - only with that site.
Revert permissions in NoScript.
URL: https://www.veniceclassicradio.eu/en/
Allow veniceclassicradio.eu
Click the Play button
Window pops up.
Being the second time, you now know what to do.
Context-menu -> NoScript.
NoScript menu pops up.
Now, before doing anything else, jump away - to some other window, some other application - whatever.
Jump back to where you were.
The player webpage popup window is there.
Right-click cotext-menu -> NoScript.
But at that point, the NoScript menu does not pop up.
Where? Why?
Not sure?
Is the initial NoScript window still out there somewhere?
Is it hiding behind some other window (be it FF or some other application)?
Not sure?
Remember, we never interacted with it this second time.
We only caused it to open, then jumped away to do something else.
Or is there an error in its opening this second time?
Not sure.
All I know at this point is that the NoScript menu is not opening, so I cannot interact with the page, cannot get the music to play.
(Likewise, don't know if these steps are able to be duplicated [as I don't want to restart FF, at this point].)
Also note that if a website blocks context-menu (from displaying at all), that would make things that much harder.
(The URL in the popup window does display, so you are able to copy the URL of the popup & paste that into a regular window, which would then have the NoScript icon & better accessibility to its settings.)
