Firefox 57 and NoScript

[richbuff]

I turned off my laptop in the wee hours of the morning > I turn it on a few hours later > I launched Firefox > Firefox will start after updating > Omg, Firefox has mutated! And no NoScript icon! I have not felt such sheer terror since two dogs, a German Shepherd and a Chow mix charged at me on the street from their driveway from only 20 feet away, four weeks ago. Ok, I survived that major problem with a tenth of a second to spare, so I shall survive this, too.

The message on the splash page said "definitely by the end of this week." Well, here we are. Any chance we'll see FF57 support today, or is it delayed?
Love the app... hoping for a speedy return.

LOL!!

Seriously though, I'm not sure if even Giorgio knows for sure exactly when it'll be out. I hope it doesn't take as long as that.

How can I disble the new firefox and return to a 56 version until the add ons are compatible with 57 version? I HTE this new 57 version. Thanks

Thank you so much for NoScript - anxiously awaiting an update for FireFox 57. Our Windows 7 PC with FireFox 57 is basically unusable without NoScript - I suspect, but am not sure, the issue is with Yahoo Mail. If anyone else has found a setting to change to get by until NoScript is available, please let me know.

Thanks

First step is to download Firefox 56, the link has been given earlier in this thread - https://forums.informaction.com/viewtop ... 092#p91092

To disable Firefox update:
about:config
set both app.update.auto and app.update.enabled to false
Also make sure you don't have Mozilla Maintenance Service installed

Does this help?

Will future NoScript updates still support FF56? I installed FF57 and I really hate it, so I reinstalled FF56 and will probably keep it that way.

wenn ihr unbedingt ff57 nutzen wollt und euch die esr nicht gefällt, dann könnt ihr bis zum erscheinen von noscript als webextention ja umatrix nehmen, das dasselbe und noch einiges mehr nur auf eine andere art tut...
ff hat euch das bestimmt wie mir auch schon vorgeschlagen...
trotzdem hoffe ich das noscript bald soweit ist...
habe keine lust mich umzugewöhnen...

have a nice day...

[barbaz]

if you absolutely want to use ff57 and you do not like the esr, then you can take until the appearance of noscript as a webextention yes umatrix that does the same and a lot more in a different way ...
ff has you determined that as me already suggested ...
Nevertheless, I hope the noscript soon so far ...
I do not want to change my habit ...

To be honest, I'm pretty sure that the problem is not that the extension isn't ready yet for some release (even alpha or beta), than the fact I guess that Giorgio is testing the extension in order to be released with the less possible bugs... Even if there will always be bugs and corrections. But that's my guess, we'll see...

If that is the case then I would rather he just released it asap regardless of bugs.

So many of us have come to rely on NoScript and are feeling desperately insecure without it. The more of us reporting bugs then the quicker it can be fixed.

I signed up just to ask this question. Big fan of NoScript of course.

Can't we just change the config?

about:config
extensions.legacy.enabled ;true
