Noscript Plugin Firefox for Linux Mint

Post by New User »

Hello everybody!

I installed Noscript for my firefox browser on Linux Mint but it doesn't show the button (on the upper left side) to configure Noscript.
I already searched for any solution but nothing I found worked.
Could someone help me?

What version of Firefox and how did you install it?

Hello Barbaz,

Firefox was already installed.
The packetmanager shows Packet: Firefox Version: 67.0+linuxmint2+tessa

Noscript was installed through add-ons of Mozilla Firefox. It is version 11.0.2.

Does that help?

Oh, you mean you're missing this icon in the NoScript popup -

Do you see a "gravestone" icon on the top bar of the NoScript popup? If so, click that and you should find the NoScript Options icon available to drag to somewhere on the top bar of the popup.

You can also get to NoScript Options through Tools > Add-ons Manager > NoScript > Preferences.

(BTW, are you intentionally not updating to Firefox 68?)

Hello Barbaz,

I found the mistake: I clicked on > Add-ons Manager > NoScript > Preferences and allowed Noscript to be executed also in private mode of Firefox.
I would update firefox to the newest version but the packetmanager doesn't show that there would be some available. Maybe because this is a configurated version of firefox especially for linux... I don't no...
Thank you for your quick answers :)

off-topic: According to Linux Mint website, the latest Firefox version available to you through package manager is 68.0.1 - http://packages.linuxmint.com/search.ph ... rd=firefox

Try running sudo apt-get update in terminal?
