ancestry.com, jquery.com, need to uninstall noscript

Hello
I have to uninstall noscript to view image content of the ancestry.com.au website.
No problems previously, I just restarted computer after many months with no restart, and firefox updated & presumably noscript also. So I have no idea what my old version of firefox or noscript was! Current version of firefox 32.03, version of noscript 2.6.9.
Have been using noscript with the ancestry site for a number of years with no problems. To view graphic (images) content normally have to enable jquery.com when first visit the graphic page (enable many other ancestry.com sites before reaching the graphic content) .
Have tried enabling whole page, does not work, enable global, does not work, disable noscript, does not work, restart with noscript disabled, does not work, uninstall noscript, works, reinstall noscript, still does not work.
Suggest this is worrisome as disabling does not fix it. Any ideas on a workaround before a fix?
After writing above re-searched board for jquery.com & saw reports of a driveby problem on the jquery site. Is this related perchance?
Thanks for your time
Glenn

Then the issue is not caused by NoScript.

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.

Thanks for getting back.
The issue is fixed.
I only had two other addons, Googlebar lite & download Status bar, uninstalled both, restarted firefox & all was OK. Reinstalled both and is still OK.
Thank you, is appreciated

(My bet is on *bar. And along with that any A/V related plugins.)
