Noscript Options form problem/bug

Post by victor50 »

When I try to set options for No-script from FF-Menu->Options->Add-On->Extensions->No-script->Options things works as it should
But when I add No-Script to the navigation-bar and do No-Script->Options Firefox hangs and has to be killed. The tabbed settingsform then appears in a separate window on the Windows-taskbar. It does not when called the first way. (FF 15.01, W7PR64)

Are you not using tabs, or only using tabs, or anything like that?

In both instances, a separate window should popup & in both instances you should see the separate window on the taskbar.

Do you have another extension that would open likewise (Adblock Plus is one)?

As a test, does the issue persist in a new, clean Profile?

I am using Tab Mix Plus.I am not really looking forward to do additional testing. Finding out the above did cost me enough time & can live with it.

And if you inadvertently click something & end up hanging again ...

Guess I'll have to live with that terrible risk. :D

It is extremely likely that you have an extension conflict, which may cause more and worse problems in the future.
The clean profile test is a simple one. Create a clean profile from scratch, install only NoScript, and see if the issue still appears.
This takes maybe five minutes.
If the issue disappears, then there is an extension conflict. Add back one at a time. This takes a little longer, but it may save you time in the long run.
Problems that remain unfixed generally get worse, and rarely get better.
