Cannot install No Script from the home page

Post by annieoakley »

I have reset Firefox twice (twice!!!) today, and when I tried to install No Script with the big green Install button I had a message from Firefox with an Allow button. The Allow button gave me a message that Firefox could not install No Script because of an error in No Script.
So I poked around and found another way to install No Script.

Not being able to install from the home page was annoying, and the message from Firefox raised my anxiety level. We can work around this, but it would be nice to have it fixed.

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/noscript/ is still up, so note to others: you can install from there (development builds / rc's are at https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/noscript/versions).

It is annoying not to be able to re-install No Script from the home page, but the worst thing is the Firefox message. It doesn't say, "You can't get there from here," or ,"Please go to Addons.Mozilla.org". It says, "This add on could not be downloaded because of a connection failure on noscript.net".

Why is there an Install button if it doesn't connect?
