NoScript blocking Google Drive backup download

Just today, NoScript starting Google Drive Backup downloads in a status bar at the top of the browser. Even after I disabled NoScript in the FF 45 tools (XP), it still blocked the download? I guess I could uninstall NoScript or use a different browser or PC, but figure lots of others might be having the same issue - it just started. Will try closing the FF browser and reopening after disabling.

Did want to report back that disabling NoScript, shutting FF, reopening, saving Google Drive backup download, reenabling NoScript did work. Fortunately, I don't have to download Google Drive Backups very often, so this is OK and hopefully will be fixed in the future. May be someway to allow with the options on the top noscript status bar, but I don't have a clue what they mean.

Thanks for NoScript - just wanted to report what I was having to do. If others know what setting to change, please share.

That is a potential sign of an extension conflict. If you run into this problem again, and you're not running any known-problematic extensions (for example: Ghostery, Blur, anything mentioned in General Troubleshooting Instructions #1), please try Standard Diagnostic (keeping NoScript enabled & with your settings, since we now know it isn't the culprit).

Please let us know the results if you decide to do this, thanks.
