No allow or forbid in NoScript menu

Post by Hesami »

Hi,

Yesterday my Firefox crashed twice consecutively, with the second crash happening the second I reopened Firefox. After that I waited a few minutes and then reopened Firefox. It was then that I noticed all my extensions, including NoScript, have disappeared. Extension menu and extension folder in the profile folder of Firefox were empty. After a little search to see if I can restore them I gave up and decided to download and install all extensions. I started with NoScript and after Installing it I found out that the main menu (where you choose to allow or forbid websites, etc) is empty. The menu had a blank space and the only things clickable were "About NoScript" and "Options". I deleted NoScript and tried installing it through manual downloading and drag & dropping and it was exactly the same. I also tried deleting all extension-related files in the profile folder and reinstalling NoScript from scratch with no success. I have the latest stable version of Firefox and NoScript.

It looks like this when I click on NoScript:

Thanks in advance.

Your profile has probably "a sploded" or otherwise become corrupted. Create a new profile and try to recover what you can out of your old one.

You might want to scan your system for malware before you do that though, in case malware is the root cause of this issue.
(use a tool like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (the free version will do) as well as your antivirus)
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

(Otherwise you might see if renaming, with FF closed, the files extensions.ini & extensions.json [in your Profile folder] accomplishes anything.)
