'Recently Blocked Sites' Drop-down menu closing on updating

Downloaded this yesterday and it was working fine, added permissions for a bunch of sites and everything was dandy.

Next day (today) I boot up Firefox and go somewhere new, and try to find what scripts the site needed, but couldn't do much since each time i scrolled over the 'Recently Blocked Sites' dropdown, it opens for half a second (sometimes less, sometimes a bit more, but never for longer than a second) and then immediately closes without warning. Needless to say this is extremely annoying and makes use of the feature basically impossible, meaning i have to add the permissions manually in the options. In the meantime a fix for this would be appreciated if you can figure out whats going wrong here.

I am using Firefox 27.0.1. on Windows 7 64 Bit. The only vaguely related add-ons I have running that could possibly conflict are Bluhell Firewall and HTTPS Everywhere (but I fail to see how either of those could be relevant.) I have tried drop-down menus in various other programs as a test, but none of them exhibit this behavior. In-fact, it is only the 'Recently Blocked Sites' drop-down inside NoScript itself that does this. I'm guessing this happens because every-time NoScript blocks something it updates that drop-down, but usually it just means reopening it will give you new/different results, rather than it being closed because of this (This is in fact how it was working yesterday...) It now only works properly when placed in the bottom Add-on Bar (which i would much rather not have to use since I value my vertical screen estate)

Either way, hoping for a quick response

Works for me.

What is your NoScript version?

Can you try a new profile?

Disable all extensions except for NoScript.
Does the problem persist?

Hey, turns out it WAS another add-on causing it. Seemingly totally unrelated: Speed Dial.

I had changed the image refresh rate for the Speed Dial tabs to once every 6 seconds, assuming that this would only happen while I actually had the Speed Dial tab open.
Apparently it must have been doing this in the background as well, as whenever a tab refreshed, it closed the NoScript drop-down. Changing the refresh rate to once every hour fixed the problem.

Turns out it was just me after all -,o
Thanks for your replies anyway, sorry for wasting your time.

Oh and for posterity's sake, I am using version 2.6.8.16 of NoScript

Hmm. I wonder whether it is possible for NS to ignore background refreshes?
