Classic NoScript installation workaround for Pale Moon
Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2018 3:37 pm
Hi, I want to a long delayed update of NS for Pale Moon (28.2.2(64 bit)) and when I went to the link it opens up the install tab and then displays a message claiming that it cannot install because of signing.
I went into about:config and the xpi signature boolean was already set to false. I then went into PM's Tools, Preferences and the site warnings already were toggled off and I set add-on security level to off. It still refuses.
Now correct all of that. As I was typing I tried one more thing. I also run "Configuration Mania" and it has an option under it's add-on tab to "not check secure updates." I toggled that one went back to the install link and BOOM! the install worked.
I left the old steps of the issue up in case anybody else runs into this issue and none of the above steps work. I also changed the title of the post to indicate it is a workaround. If this helps anybody else then best wishes.
Happy holidays everyone!

maybe there was more to read- but I don't allow that sort of thing in my life and eventually I just had to shut it off. Every day I fill life with things that add to the day.
