[RESOLVED] NoScript causes freezes on Firefox Nightly 49.0a1

Post by TheSilent »

I'm using Firefox Nightly 49.0a1 (2016-04-28).
Since the latest update when NoScript is enabled Firefox freezes on almost every page I load. This makes the browser unusable for me and forces me to disable NoScript.

Is this with e10s enabled or disabled?

I tested it with both e10 enabled and disabled. Same result.

Likely related issue on today's Aurora: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21870

It seems the problem was related to FireFox. The new version 49.0a1 (2016-04-30) fixed the issue.

This is my first time using the auora channel. Any guesses when 49 might make it to that channel?

IIRC approximately 6 weeks after whenever 48 became Aurora. More important question is when/if the specific fix(es) get uplifted to 48... and since we don't even know the bug number(s) or m-c commit(s) responsible for the fix, there's no telling.

EDIT According to Wikipedia, Firefox 49 will become Aurora on 6 June 2016
