[RESOLVED] NoScript menu problem

Ok so few days ago my no script stopped showing up when I'd right click. It's still active as some sites that I didn't have trusted won't use scripts. I do not get an option to allow these at all making playing some games online impossible or watching videos on sites I don't have fully trusted previously.

Any clue? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling No script countless times and nothing. When I right click the only options I get are...

Back
Forward
Reload
Stop

Bookmark

Save link

Noscript should be right under properties but it's not. Thanks in advance.

Try these steps in order until NoScript is working right again.

1) The NoScript settings got messed up somehow. Reset the NoScript Options by pressing Reset at the bottom of the Options dialog. Export your whitelist before doing that if you've added any trusted or untrusted sites you'd like to restore after NoScript is working again.
2) The extensions database is corrupted. Exit Firefox, delete the files mentioned here in this linked article, restart Firefox. Uncorrupted versions of the files will be automatically regenerated. Corrupt_extension_files.
3) Perform a Standard Diagnostic. If NoScript isn't working by the time you get to the "Create a new profile" step. That step should do the trick.

Hope this helps. Please let us know whether it does.

The second thing worked, deleting my extensions and letting firefox automatically regenerate them. Thanks for the help, much appreciated. Also if you want you can change the name of the thread, that was a mistake :(

Glad to hear your NoScript is working properly again. The extensions system is a bit fragile at times, but at least we know how to repair it, usually. I'll fix the name of the topic. I almost deleted it as spam when I saw it the first time. :shock:

Alan, I too thought it was spam, but since the title didn't ref pr0n or f4rmac3ut1c4l or Cyrillic, opened it and was glad to see you had handled it. I know I make a million typos myself, (try putting your hands one letter left or right on the keyboard without realizing it!) and so give the benefit of the doubt at least to open it (boxed, of course ;) . Good deal.

I hope you don't mind but I updated the subject of the followup posts to match the corrected topic name, a bit a* retentive I guess :)
