CCleaner wiped out NoScript Settings?

I just ran CCleaner (latest version) along with the CCleaner Registry cleaner. It wiped out all my NoScript settings. Has this happened to anyone else before? Thanks.

Hi,
I've run CC continuously for more than 4 years, all of those with NS and FF in Win.
Never had any extension settings wiped by CC - including NS.
The CC V4 for 64bit Win7 update has been running for 2 days here - no loss of any config in FF.
Do note that I'm not running 19 - only the ESR.

NoScript doesn't store its setting in the registry, so any registry cleaning functionality can't be at fault for this.

Not sure what/how CCleaner does/works, but if it does something like cleaning cookies, it has to access places.sqlite. Similarly no reason that it couldn't access prefs.js, though I would (hope) that to be unlikely?
Imagine they have forums, & settings within the program itself to determine what is or what is not "cleaned".
