The news ticker for the News Headlines Toolbar (
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13073) doesn't work properly unless I disable NoScript. How do I resolve this?

What does or doesn't it do?
What should it do?
Are there any related errors in Error Console?

The ticker should scroll the news but it doesn't with NoScript enabled. I didn't see anything in the error console. Thanks...

I had a quick look at it, and it appears to be a marketing tool, run by this mob:

Pretty much like a lot of toolbars - advertising is their main intent.
I installed it with NS blocking all including the main domain and I can confirm that the ticker doesn't scroll. But whether that's because of NS blocking any active content or because of other conflicts, I can't say.
I'm running the latest development version

Have you allowed the main domain? I wouldn't trust the main domain myself enough to let it run scripts, so I can't go any further with checking your problem.

Seems to be the same problem reported in the
MLB.com Toolbar Ticker topic. I'm not surprised, since they're both Conduit toolbars. I couldn't find a way to make NoScript compatible with the ticker.
