I’d like to restore my old Win 7 NoScript settings but Firefox don’t let me.
Funnily FF allows me to save the settings but not fetch saved settings (nothing happens if I try).
This is, I think, Firefox (user/profile) problem because FF doesn’t allow me save or fetch the bookmarks either. New clean profile doesn’t help but if I log in as admin, there Firefox works OK.
I wonder if there’s any other way to restore NS settings or what’s better how fix Firefox to do that as it should. Mozilla’s help doesn’t help.

Re: Firefox can't restore Noscript_data
When this issue occurs, do you see anything related in the Browser Console (Ctrl-Shift-J) or about:debugging > This Firefox > NoScript, Console?
(if you don't know what's related, turn off CSS warnings and post everything else you see)
Have you got unusual permissions on the affected user's AppData folders for Firefox? or any third-party security software that maybe affecting access to these folders?

Does it work as another non-admin user as well?

Do you have the storage-sync-v2.sqlite (& .sqlite-shm & .sqlite-wal) files from the Firefox profile whose NoScript settings you're trying to restore?

Re: Firefox can't restore Noscript_data
Thank You barbaz, but now this seems to be really weird because the same problem occurs when trying to fetch attachment into e-mail (yahoo). Looks like the open/save dialog does not respond (open) at all. No need to say that as admin everything works well. And Chrome as normal user too.
I think that the Browser Console shows anything interesting.
Because this machine is not my main computer and obsolete as hell, I think that I give up this issue because everything else seems to work.
And I always can get and put the bookmarks from/to the bookmarksbackup folder. And Firefox can restore them from there.
And to my surprise the noscript_data.txt is saved into the downloads folder although there's no response when I press the export button in Noscript.
The only problem is that I can't restore noscript_data.txt.
Of course I have it somewhere in my saved profile folder, but where it is buried?
I don’t mind copying the whole profile if I ever needed to restore the data.
Still another storage location: Where does Firefox save settings that you can make true/false in about:config, eg. accessibility.force_disabled?
