Firefox Hangs, NoScript, and e10s

Post by antemyst »

Hi,

For a while now I've been having trouble with Firefox Aurora randomly hanging on certain pages, after enabling certain scripts. They are all sites which I had no trouble with in the past - Zoho (my business email), ApartmentRatings, a few others. I find that opening the sites in a new, non-e10s window allows them to work, but my question is - why now? I've been running these sites in e10s for months and had no trouble. It's quite irritating to have to open a new window every time I find a site that hangs.

I'm running:
Mac OS 10.11.2
Firefox Aurora 45.0.a2
NoScript 2.9.0.1rc2

I only have three other add-ons, and I've verified that the only one causing hangs is NoScript. Is there a version of NoScript I can install that will not cause trouble in e10s?

NoScript 2.x is not expected to work with e10s, need to wait for NoScript 3.x

*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
