[RESOLVED] Missing Icon and Pop-up Bar

Post by IncoherentMoron »

I have a problem with the little icon that's in the lower-right corner of the window. It disappeared and I can't find it. I've tried rebooting my computer, removing and returning the icon in the options, reinstalling NoScript and none of it has worked. I can't get the bar that also tells you what's blocked to show up either. Any help would be appreciated

Try these steps in order until NoScript is working right again.

1) The NoScript settings got messed up somehow. Reset the NoScript Options by pressing Reset at the bottom of the Options dialog. Export your whitelist before doing that if you've added any trusted or untrusted sites you'd like to restore after NoScript is working again.
2) The extensions database is corrupted. Exit Firefox, delete the files mentioned here in this linked article, restart Firefox. Uncorrupted versions of the files will be automatically regenerated. Corrupt_extension_files.
3) Perform a Standard Diagnostic. If NoScript isn't working by the time you get to the "Create a new profile" step. That step should do the trick.

Hope this helps. Please let us know whether it does.

Neato, there it is. It was the extension files that were messed up. Thanks a lot, that was starting to get irritating.
