[RESOLVED]NS 5.0.2 won't install on FF 52.0.2 on Windows 8.1

Post by Enginuity »

Just updated NoScript to v5.0.2 on 32-bit Firefox v52.0.2 on both 32-bit Windows XP Pro and 64-bit Windows 10 (v1607) with no problems. However, when I attempted the same on 64-bit Windows 8.1 Pro, attempting to open (load) the NoScript .xpi file in Firefox (also 32-bit, v52.0.2) did nothing. Tried several times, same result. Remains at v5.0.1 in Firefox; and very interestingly, when you select "Check for updates" in the Firefox "Tools-->Add-ons Manager" no updates to NoScript are found. Any idea what's going on here?

No sooner did I submit this post, leave, and give "Check for updates" one last try (...didn't even restart the browser)--and it updated to v5.0.2 just fine in Windows 8.1 (actually when it indicated an update was available, I used "Open File" to load the .xpi file I saved previously).

It's a miracle. What can I say...it's Good Friday. Enjoy the Easter weekend!
