Another manual restart... same deal.
Shortcut key is dead.

So now disable all extensions, then re-enable (stand by)...
Disable
Restart
Enable
Restart (some extensions are Legacy & not restartless)


and shortcut key is still not working


Revert to 5.1.2rc3... restartless

Shortcut key is still dead.

Manual restart...

Shortcut key is still dead.

Sigh.

Disable all extension except for NoScript.

Shortcut key works.

Re-enable all the rest of the extensions & restart.

No shortcut key.


All had been working - until the install of 5.1.2rc4.
Now can't seem to get things back to a workable state again.


This must be the missing/ineffectual NoScript (5.1.2rc3) icon:

Image

Not all windows are missing the icon.
Not all windows are affected by the ineffectual shortcut key.

(I think I'm having another Deja vu moment.)
(This is soooo much better, Déjà vu.)


Oh, & I've now run into Taskbar Icons are Reordered when open from Session Restore - with FF.

(I think I've spammed this thread enough.)

5.1.2rc6...

At the least, I'm seeing shortcut key, while does change the NoScript icon, is not refreshing the page, so what on the page I'd be expecting to see, or do, is not happening.

Shortcut key "changes" seem to be spamming Error Console.

Code: Select all

NoScript preferences backup on the WebExtension side  legacy.js:19:11
I expected changes made from the NoScript icon (rather then shortcut key) to react as expected, but even that is not happening.


(And just to think, we haven't even hit 57 yet!)

Two observations:

1) The symptoms meticulously described by therube correspond to mine described throughout this thread with Firefox 48.0.2, beginning with NoScript 5.1.0rc2, including the appearance of what's left in NoScript's spot in my toolbar after it disappears, shown in his image two posts above. (I reverted back to NoScript 5.0.10 and set it not to update, after my last comments earlier about 5.1.2rc3.)

2) I suppose I should be pleased that we now know that the disappearings (can) also occur with up to Firefox 56, because (my guess is that) when this gets fixed, it very well may also get fixed in Firefox 48.0.2, which keeps me alive and well in macOS Snow Leopard.... However, I strongly suspect that therube and I share something else in common, but it's rare — otherwise, I'd think that this thread would be barraged with the same complaints by everybody else screaming bloody murder. Accordingly, as a start, here is a dump of my Add-on Extensions for therube to peruse, with a view toward finding one we have in common that might be triggering our presumably rare (?) post-NoScript 5.1.0rc1 disappearing act:

memo: I suspect a possible Extension trigger because, as I said in a post above:
But now there's a curiosity that's got me bewildered: the additional third disappearance of the NoScript entry from the Mac Firefox menu bar Tools menu that began also with 5.1.0rc2 has continued after my downgrade to 5.0.10!!... I conjecture that whatever changed in 5.1.0rc2 that broke the appearance of NoScript in the Firefox 48.0.2 toolbar & contextual menu might have left lingering damage that now affects earlier versions before the problem began.

Edit: Woops, I forgot: it can't be triggered by an extension, because the disappearing act happens for me in a fresh new profile, too.

I'd just like to add to the record that I'm running waterfox 55.2.1 as well as the latest firefox, and NoScript 5.1.1 and I am having the exact same issue. The first Window to open has the no script icon, everything else does not, which renders my browser fairly unusable, which sucks because it means to get things to work I have to disable noscript, which I do not enjoy doing.

disapearing icon

Post by mellpell »

I'm using NoScript 5.1.1 on firefox 56.0. I see the same missing icon and consequent inability to use NoScript. I see the icon in some windows but not all. For instance this window does not permit me to allow scripts. As a consequence I am not able to upload a screen shot to show you the problem. It looks the same as the issue therube is having. Let me know if you need any troubleshooting information.

I have this issue as well, in 5.1.2. If I downgrade back to 5.1.1 the problem goes away and I cannot recreate it. If I upgrade again to 5.1.2 the issue immediately returns.

This thread is getting quite mixed up, since we've got a main reported on Firefox 48 and new reports from Firefox 56.
Please continue the Firefox 56-related discussion here, thank you.

Re: Firefox 48 - NoScript 5.1.0rc2 through 5.1.2rc3 disappea

^ Fine, if it helps you segregate by Firefox version. But there's nothing mixed-up in this thread vis-à-vis the symptoms: the symptoms are identical for all versions of Firefox mentioned here. Hopefully that will help point to what changed between 5.1.0rc1 and 5.1.0rc2 that's the culprit for all of us.
