Firefox preventing noscript install

Post by eradic8 »

I just went to download the latest stable version of noscript and was prompted by Firefox with the following message:
Firefox prevented this site (noscript.net) from asking you to install software on your computer.

My only reason for mentioning this is that this did not happen the last time I downloaded noscript from the site so I could not understand why it is bringing up this message. In the past I have waited for Firefox to automatically check for updates but it is slow at checking for updates so I decided to check daily for noscript updates myself. I could of course have allowed install, but I thought I would just check with this forum first to make sure there are not any problems and that this is normal.

Yes, it is normal.
The only web site which can install extensions in your browser without that warning bar is AMO.
