10.1.2 no-go how to revert to 5.1.7

Post by STC »

I was auto converted from 5.1.7 to 10.1.2 and all I get is noscript icon with an question mark through it. Tried removing and re-installing ... no change. Suspect my OS10.6.8 and Firefox 45.9.0 could be too old; hence, want to go back to 5.1.7 ... where can I get this?

NoScript 10.1.2 is only compatible with Firefox 57 and up. You should not have been auto converted.

NoScript Classic is still available at https://noscript.net/getit

Though (surprisingly) 10 does install into FF 45 (assuming that is what the OP is using).

Is there no concept of minver anymore?

https://noscript.net/getit says that 2.9.0.14 is what you should use for FF 45 (rather then 5.1.7).

Actually, NoScript 10 does state:

Code: Select all

"strict_min_version": "57.0"
So, OP, are you spoofing your UA?
And @G, what's up with strict_min_version?

Well, it can - under particular circumstances (circumstances of which I don't know - offhand). [I was able to get 10 to install into 45.] Going to guess in that the Profile was/is a mule, that with using the same Profile, jumping between FF versions (& SeaMonkey for that matter), that there is enough "screwed up" in there that anything is possible, LOL.

Any by the same token, a new, clean FF 45 Profile will not allow 10 to install.
5.1.7 does install into 45 (& does look to work), though /getit/ says to use 2.9.0.14.


(Can we add any more numbers into the fray ;-).)

That is not right. NoScript Classic is still compatible with Firefox 45, and indeed the Supported browsers list on the same page reflects that.
