Thanks for that video, I see the problem now. It's nothing to do with the mozilla.org script, it's that about:home somehow got script-forbidden.

about:home should be whitelisted by default... in the "forced" whitelist. I think your NoScript settings got corrupted. You might be able to just go to about:config and reset noscript.mandatory , but I think there are likely bigger issues if that could got removed. Go to NoScript Options > Export (*on the very bottom*, to export the entire config), then NoScript Options > Whitelist > Export (the one unique to the Whitelist panel, to export whitelist and untrusted list separately); this backs up your config. Next go to NoScript Options > Reset (again, on the very bottom) to put NS back to default state. Then import your whitelist/blacklist and manually replace any other configuration you had.

Please let us know the results, thanks.

Is it unusual for that to happen on two computers? 32 bit vista and 64 bit 7. Maybe an update common to both?

where is the forced whitelist?

I've never seen anything like this before but given that both computers are used by the same person and may have more or less identical profile then it's not unexpected.

Sorry, I wasn't clear about this.
You view it @ NoScript Options > Whitelist (the greyed out entries that you can't remove in the GUI) and it's stored (and modifiable) in about:config as the pref noscript.mandatory .
