NoScript 11.4.29rc1 not updating?

[barbaz]

Just discovered that although NoScript 11.4.29rc1 has appeared to be up-to-date according to checking in Add-ons Manager, there have been several dev build releases since then. Browser Console showed it was checking for updates at AMO, not Giorgio's site as it should be.

After manually installing NoScript latest development build 11.4.29rc5 from the website, updates look to be back to checking at the right place, but will have to wait for next dev build or two to confirm whether this actually fixed the problem.

Is it just me, or are others seeing this too?

That's a bug fixed in rc3, which needs to be installed manually for beta updates being back to work:

v 11.4.29rc3

x Fix beta channel updates breakage due to
browser_specific_settings override

Thanks Giorgio, good to know this isn't Firefox profile corruption.

That commit shows NoScript's manifest now has both "applications" and "browser_specific_settings" keys. Why is "applications" still there? AFAIK it's just a deprecated, non-standard alternative to browser_specific_settings, IIRC browser_specific_settings is supported since Gecko 55 (but can't find the reference for this?) and NoScript requires at least Gecko 59.

IIRC browser_specific_settings is supported since Gecko 55 (but can't find the reference for this?) and NoScript requires at least Gecko 59.

Since 42 on Gecko and 113 on Gecko/Android. So yes, you're right, I'll drop it in 11.4.30., thanks.
