Hi there,

I've noticed a problem with where Firefox (18.0.2) will lock my whole system when trying to use NoScript to enable just the dailybeast site and livefyre.com. For example, this page: I start with everything on the page disabled. I enable just thedailybeast.com and livefyre.com. My system appears to do a massive memory swap (the Hard Faults counter on the system monitor spikes). After this initial lock up in the system (which lasts about 20 seconds), the page will load fine until I shut down Firefox. I've seen this behavior with other sites that use livefyre for comments, though I can consistently recreate the problem through the the daily beast web site.

If I start Firefox in Safe Mode, the page loads without any problems.

Any suggestions?

Unable to reproduce, on Firefox 18.0.2, and for diagnostic purposes, on Fx 3.6.28.

An extension conflict or corrupted profile is likely. Please create a clean profile from scratch. Install only NoScript, leaving all the defaults.
Does the problem still exist? If not, NoScript is not the culprit.

Try adding back your extensions, one at a time, until you find the one that causes the issue.
Then remove all the others, pairing only the suspected one with NoScript, to confirm that the remaining one is the issue.
If the problem is solved even with all add-ons reinstalled, then the previous profile was probably corrupt. Problem solved.

Let us know, thanks.
