Thanks for upgrading page keeps loading

[ritch58]

Even after getting the latest upgrade installed in firefox the thanks for upgrading page keeps loading when firefox is started. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no results. Is there an option that I'm not aware of that will rectify this situation or is it a bug with firefox or noscript? Some help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. I really would hate to permanently uninstall noscript because of this. It is a great addition to security. However it gets very annoying getting that page load every time I start firefox.

I would think so! If I recall correctly, that can be caused by the NoScript page having been added to your Firefox home page somehow. Check that setting at Tools > Options > Main > Home Page.
If that's not the case, perhaps resetting your NoScript settings might help. Export your customized whitelist with NoScript Options > Whitelist > Export first, and then click the Reset button at the bottom.

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

If I understand it, you mean the NS after update page? The one that occurs only ONCE after it is updated? That keeps coming up each time you load? It shouldn't and you can either do a NS Options|Reset (button on the bottom left) and see if that fixes your problem and if not there is a switch you can set in about:config to stop that, try the reset first.

How funny, your post hit while I was writing mine, good to see we had the same idea at least

If this happens every time you open Firefox, rather than when you update the relevant add-on, something wrong is happening. FlashGot and NoScript, in facts, save a preference saying "I've shown the release notes for this version" before opening the page, therefore you should see it once per version unless something else is opening it (e.g. Firefox's own startup sequence) or preferences are prevented from being saved.

First of all, please double check that those sites have not been accidentally saved in Tools|Options|Main|Startup (notice that multiple sites might be put there separated by the pipe "|" character).
If they're there, just reset those setting to your regular startup page.
If it they were not listed there, this can be a symptom about Firefox not being able to save preferences. To check, please change one preference on that panel (e.g. "When Firefox starts" to "Show a blank page"), close the the window by hitting OK and then restart Firefox.

If after restarting Firefox the preference is not preserved (i.e. "When Firefox starts" is reverted to its previous value), you're probably having a serious issue with your profile preventing preferences from being saved.
You should try in this order:

1. To temporarily turn off any external security software (e.g. a sandbox or an antivirus) and retry to check if preferences can be saved. If they can be saved, you should tweak your security software to allow Firefox writing access to your profile.
2. Otherwise, if security software is not the culprit, it might be another extension, and you may want to try Standard Diagnostic
3. If everything else fails, your current profile might be corrupted, and you may need http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_ ... ew_profile
