[RESOLVED] Settings are automatically changedto "restrictions globally deactivated"

[Jonnes]

Hello,
I hope someone can explain to me what could be going on. the noscript add-on from time to time jumps back automatically to the setting: "restrictions globally deactivated". Mostly when the browser is restarted, but sometimes also during a session for no apparent reason! Can this be due to a problem with another add-on?
regards

Is that the only NoScript setting that 'jumps back automatically'?

Do you use Firefox Sync?
If so, does this issue also happen in a new, separate Firefox profile that is not set up with your Firefox Sync?

[Jonnes]

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

The only other add-ons with individual settings is ublock. Everything is "normal" there.

I don't use Firefox Sync.

What wonders me most is that I use the basic settings for noscript...

When this issue occurs, do you also lose changes you made to the permissions? e.g. if you had set a new site to Trusted, is it no longer set as Trusted?
What about customisations to the Default/Trusted/Untrusted presets?

[Jonnes]

I am honestly not sure about that, as I have always solved the problem by resetting the settings whenever the problem occurred.
I would have to watch that again.

Go to about:debugging
This Firefox > NoScript > Inspect
In the console, enter this -

Code: Select all

chrome.storage.sync.get(null,(items)=>console.log(JSON.stringify(items)));

look at what it returns.

Do this when the issue has not occured, and do it when the issue occurs. Compare results?

there are a lot of errors which i dont understand... would it help to re-install firefox with all add-ons?

[therube]

(No clue, but in about:config, do you have the preference dom.serviceWorkers.enable set to 'false' ?)

no allready checked it.. its set to true

Looks like that would be worth trying.

Before you start the uninstall/reinstall process, you might want to completely quit Firefox then back up your entire profile folder. If you have that backed up, it should be safe enough to select to delete your data when uninstalling Firefox, so that the new install of Firefox uses a new, clean profile.

just wanted you guys know that I haven't had the problem since reinstalling! Thanks for your help
