What follows is a tip (for new users like myself) to setup the NoScript options, which by comparison to the default settings provides satisfying and hassle free web browsing experience. The process is simple enough, export the NoScript settings that the Tor Project uses in the Tor Browser. That's it. I wish I discovered this years ago.
After installing the NoScript add-on to Firefox:
- Goto the official Tor Project website and install the Tor Browser
- Execute the Tor Browser and find enter the NoScript Options ... menu
- Select Export Settings found in the General Tab.
Now just import it into your Firefox.

Moving to NoScript General.
It is not good advice, to install something with a shady security history if it's not absolutely necessary!!!!!!!!! (I mean anything accessing Tor, not the Tor Browser in and of itself. Tor is notorious as a vector for ransomware exploits etc.)
If you still have that config export please post it here, so that users can gain the full benefits of your advice without risking a malware disaster.
(If you have spam filter troubles posting it, please PM it to me wrapped in code tags, like so:[/code]
and I'll try to post it for you.)
