Sorry about that, I saw the guy had e10s disabled and figured that meant it was the same issue. Should we unlock the other thread?
I don't care much about the thread, but I'd like him to check latest development build in order to understand which issue is actually his.

Because I need to get work done, every installation I have update checks (for Firefox) disabled, and I've hit pause at 56.0b12 (Developer Edition).

Because it looks suspiciously like E10S, WebExtensions—and possibly NoScript, possibly just because Firefox is screwed up—are not production-ready, I'm waiting for Firefox 57.0 to go to full release before I start testing new releases (ANY new releases) of Firefox.

In the meantime, I'm allowing NoScript to auto-update. I've performed only limited testing, but I've seen no change in this whole "NoScript claims to be blocking WX option pages, but isn't actually" problem. And, to be clear: with E10S disabled, NoScript really is blocking WX extension pages. With E10S enabled, it claims to block the pages, but appears to be mistaken.
