Mac OS 10.8.5, Firefox 44.0

For at least six weeks now, when selecting NoScript's "temporarily allow all this page", the FireFox web page almost always no longer automatically reloads anymore. An extra click on the "reload page" icon is required. When visiting numerous web sites during the day, auto-reload works perhaps two or three times out a hundred.

I haven't pursued this issue until now thinking that some minor issue in Firefox or NoScript was causing it and the problem would be solved with the next update of Firefox of NoScript. This has not happened, so I turn to the community for aid in tracking down and fixing this issue.

In NoScript's preferences "Automatically Reload Each Page" and "This Tab Only" are selected. Deselecting either or both, restarting Firefox, then reselecting either or both does not improve the situation.

Any tips or clues as to how I can track this problem down and fix it would be most appreciated.

Please create a clean profile from scratch. Install only NoScript latest development build, leaving all the defaults.
Does the problem still exist?
If not, what if you then import your NS settings into the clean profile using the Import and Export buttons *on the very bottom* of NS Options?
If that still doesn't reproduce the problem, NoScript is not the culprit... try Standard Diagnostic (leaving NS enabled) to isolate and correct the real cause.

Let us know, thanks.

Followed the directions to create a new profile, then downloaded and installed the latest version of NoScript. The auto-reload feature worked fine for the half-dozen web pages I tried. Went back to the older profile and started disabling add-ons. Ultimately discovered that the "Blur" add-on that I updated at the end of last year was the culprit.

Thanks for the tips on how to create a new profile and giving me a nudge in the right direction to help me to figure this out.
