NoScript Causing FF and Windows 8.1 to freeze up

Post by WTFbruh »

Something in NS is causing FF to keep crashing/freezing after a few hours and when FF freezes up it makes my whole PC freeze up, so that i can't even do anything at all on it and when it finally unfreezes FF has crashed. This is really annoying and i'm about ready to uninstall NS. Also, something on imgur and gfycat causing FF to crash if you try to upload an imgur and forget to allow scripts before doing so.


FF doesn't always crash, but it locks up so and does the problem not responding thing and then my whole PC locks up after it.

Is this with Firefox or Waterfox?
If Waterfox, do you have the same problem using Mozilla Firefox?
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

It's with both of them. I was having the issue with FF, so i installed wafterfox and it does the samething, just not as often anymore, it still does it though.

What other extensions are you using?
Could you check whether it's an extension conflict by running Standard Diagnostic|sd while keeping NoScript enabled?
