Noscript drops my internet access

[doctj]

Hello
My internet connection drops with noscript enabled. Only restarting the pc will reestablish the connection when Noscript is enabled, disabling it fixed this. Is there a setting in Noscript I should use or not to prevent this from happening as I really want to enable noscript again while browsing. My OS is Win 7 Professional. Thanks

Hi, Doctor J. NoScript shouldn't have any effect on your Internet connection. Please follow these instructions:

Update NoScript to the most recent development build at http://noscript.net/getit#devel, then try these steps, in order, until NoScript is working right again.

1) The NoScript settings became messed up somehow. Reset the NoScript Options by pressing Reset at the bottom of the Options dialog. Export your whitelist before doing that if you've added any trusted or untrusted sites you'd like to restore after NoScript is working again.

2) The extensions database is corrupted. Exit Firefox, delete the files mentioned here in this linked article, restart Firefox. Uncorrupted versions of the files will be automatically regenerated. Corrupt_extension_files

3) There might be an extension conflict. Use the Add-ons manager to temporarily disable any other Firefox extensions you have installed, except for NoScript.

4) Perform a Standard Diagnostic. If NoScript isn't working by the time you get to the "Create a new profile" step, a new profile with no other extensions besides NoScript should work right.

Hope this helps. Please let us know whether it does.
