Cannot find about:config info in latest build of Firefox?

[Gon_F]

Hello, all. Recently I just updated to the most modern version of Firefox (69.0.1), on my Mac OS X 10.11.6, after being a long-time user of noScript in general. I always appreciated how if I enabled 1 script in some tab, all of the tabs which had that same script would also reload.

Having updated Firefox, I find this feature is gone, and I have to reload every tab myself now. Trying to fix this, I heard (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25525) there are some noScript options in about:config, but about:config seems to have no noScript options!



Could anyone help me with changing the deeper options in noScript, such as the ones described in the link above?

WebExtensions have no about:config preferences.
Therefore "deeper" options you're referring to are not there anymore in NoScript 10 and above, which is a WebExtension: a transition required since Firefox 57 and above doesn't support "legacy" extensions anymore.

Did you actually read the thread you linked and understand what it's about?

I don't think auto-reloading is configurable yet in NoScript Webext, unfortunately.

No, I did not read the post, but I linked it as an easy example showing the about:config options that I knew for a fact existed once.

I am aware of what Mozilla traded away with its newer version of Firefox, but I was not aware it was so bad as to not allow basic app preferences to be changed in the about:config.

Is there a reason those options, in modern Firefox, cannot simply be moved to the default app preferences window? Being able to do automatic reloading seems like an important feature, and I cannot currently imagine the reason why modern WebExtension cannot allow those. I thought the biggest loss was no more UI-changing addons? ?

(I wasn't aware that NoScript 10 couldn't do that. Though I believe that on one update, it did it on extension update install. At least it appeared to, & I thought to myself, I wish it hadn't .)
