What do I need to get NS to work with Waterfox?

Post by Sander Bouwhuis »

I'm currently running Waterfox v56.2.2 with NoScript v5.1.8.6.

1.
Is this version still being updated, or are bugs/vulnerabilities no longer fixed?

2.
What is needed to get NS v10.x working on Waterfox? Does NS have to do something? Does Waterfox have to do something? Does the user need to do something?

Thanks for any info supplied.

1) NoScript Classic is still supported.

2) NoScript 10 won't work in Waterfox 56.2.2. Waterfox doesn't yet have the needed WebExtensions APIs.

Aha, ok. Thanks for informing me.

I'll check with Alex who maintains Waterfox to see whether this is close to becoming available or not.

It should happen when Waterfox rebases on 60 ESR as planned.

Oi! That could take a while. We are only at v56.

Well, FWIW, Alex has been looking into it since March, and I think he already released a Android version based on 60 ESR.
