[FIX] Fx 56 - NoScript icon disappeared on 5.1.2 update

[diverjer]

One thing I forgot to say that was strange and out of place, when NoScripts displayed update page, it had a message to update to 5.1.2, that I was on 5.1.1 and the reason was that most likely most current version was not on Mozilla.

However, when I checked version, I really was on 5.1.2 of NoScripts.

I just want to let you know that on private window there still is the icon, fully functional, pretty weird!

Noticed yesterday that just hovering the mouse arrow over the update caused the icon to disappear from the add-on bar. it reappeared as soon as you moved the arrow off of it.

This happened on both Win 8.1 Home 64 & 7 Home 32 with FF 56.0.

The fix worked on 7, have yet to apply it to 8.1

I had it yesterday. I'm back to 5.1.1. for now.
The only similarity from the extensions of the people seems to be Noscript.
A few weeks earlyer i had the same problem with uBlock origin.
There I also went back to the previous version.

My last update caused the icon to disappear and I cannot get signed into any of the sites that I need or want to.

UPDATE WITH A FIX

1. Firefox menu > Help (?) > Restart with Add-ons disabled
2. Click the [Continue in Safe Mode] button
3. Restart the browser again normally: NoScript UI should be back now
4. Please report here the list of your add-ons as shown in about:support

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience, we're trying to figure out what exactly is happening and how to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Furthermore, if you're extra adventurous, please install 5.1.2rc8 from https://noscript.net/getit#devel, then restart the browser, then install 5.1.2 (stable) over it to provide us with some indication on what to expect on next update.

Had problem with Firefox 56.0 (64-bit) Windows 10. Was a simple fix.

Go to Firefox tools > addons > NoScript Options > appearance tab > select "show" status bar label > restart firefox.

all ok here on both FF profiles and PCs.
the strange: 5.1.2 that was the first time that Noscript installed succesfully without browser restart!
