[RESOLVED] No Menus/Icons/Anything

Post by NightSky716 »

I did a virus scan last night with Malwarebytes. Today I went to Firefox (presumably latest version, it updates constantly) and NoScript wasn't working.

It's still installed - it's been reinstalled, disabled and enabled several times now - the problem is that nothing for it appears anywhere. When I right-click, no NoScript buttons/options appear. There's no NoScript icon in the menu at the top (note: I've seen multiple sites talking about the "Customize" button. Going to "Customize" doesn't help - there's no icon to drag once I get there! Besides, that still doesn't solve the features missing everywhere else.)

Yet at the same time, it's still blocking everything - I just can't do anything with it. I went to this thread. None of the add-ons mentioned were enabled. I just did a scan, surely I wouldn't need to do another one? I also did steps 3, 4, and 5. Nothing worked. I did everything in step 6, except for creating a new profile altogether. Nope, apparently I actually did that already when I clicked "Refresh Firefox" after going into safe mode during the one other step.

Is there anything else I can try? I'd like to keep using this program if possible.

Sorry for double posting, but I didn't see an edit button. The 2nd scan just finished, and nothing came up.

Disable all other extensions except for NoScript.
Restart FF.
Any change?

Disable ALL Plugins.
Restart FF.
Any change?

As a test, create a new, clean Profile.
Install only NoScript.
Does that work?
[Done already, seemingly. After the Refresh, you did install NoScript ;-) ?]

Everything (extensions and plugins) except NoScript is disabled now. I just restarted Firefox. Nope, nothing's appearing.

New, clean Profile with only NoScript installed?

But wait, didn't I do that already with step 6 in that other thread?

A Refresh is different from a new, clean Profile.

See what is retained or not, with a Refresh: What does the refresh feature do?

Trying it now. So far, nothing's appearing - when I right click, there's nothing in the menu, and there's still nothing in the add-on bar, either.

Do other extension icon/context-menu show up as expected in your original Profile?

Will FlashGot icon/context-menu show up as expected in your new, testl Profile?

I just installed FlashGot on the new profile. Nope, nothing's showing up.

Sorry for double-posting again. I just went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. (Had to use Internet Explorer to get the download - IE saves the day?!)

Both FlashGot and NoScript are showing up now. It also seems to have even saved my old information from the last installation, even though I didn't actually ask it to.

I can't say I'm sure what happened, but everything's back to normal! Thanks for the patience / replying. And thanks to the NoScript developer(s?) for making such a useful program! I'm looking forward to being able to use it again.
