NoScript prevents JSON files from displaying in Firefox 49a2

Hello,

Apparently Firefox 49 introduced a new JSON display feature. When NoScript 2.9.0.12rc1 is enabled, Firefox renders all JSON files as a blank page, even if the source domain is allowed in NoScript.

a new JSON display feature

What did it do before, just a "dump" of the file?
And what it is now "prettified"?
So is it like you File | Open, bookmarks.json, it "renders" the file, nicely, displaying in the browser?
Does it also do the same with .jsonlz4?

Anything of note noted in Error Console?

No clue, but I'd guess its all related to recent number of breakages turning in 49...

Before, it you just dump the file. This affects any JSON when trying to view it directly in the browser, weather opened from disk, or from a web server. It's a new feature of the built-in dev tools.
