I was browsing the web and suddenly a new tab opened by itself and showed that noscript got a patch and that it's now restartless, I really don't like being interupted by addons opening new tabs when I'm actively using the browser.
Showing the release notes after an update was a useful feature when it wasn't restartless but I will disable that feature now personally. I thought I should bring this up since this probably wasn't the intended functionality of that option, maybe you can change it to show a notification that you can click for release notes? It should probably be disabled by default now.

Re: Downside with restartless, it opens the releasenote when
I agree with you.
Another possibility could be, defer displaying release notes until next time the browser is started. i.e. make release notes behave like before NoScript went restartless.

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

Re: Downside with restartless, it opens the releasenote when
Well, you can disable automatic updates, or you can disable showing the release notes on update, but since updates can now occur and take effect at any time, I'm not sure it makes sense any more for the release notes page to wait for browser restart.
Personally, I don't mind it, but it's possible I'll change my mind over time. If so, I'll just disable the release notes page.
Perhaps you could configure Firefox to show the NoScript changelog when you open the browser, regardless of recent updates.

Re: Downside with restartless, it opens the releasenote when
I'm not sure about how the majority of the other restartless extensions behave (I didn't really pay attention), but I'm just realizing it as a problem and I'll likely correct it in next releases by showing release notes on first browser restart after an update.
