NoScript's use of redirectTo() breaks other addons
Posted: Thu May 26, 2016 6:38 pm
From https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/issues/554:
When µMatrix is used alongside NoScript, µMatrix is not always fully functional due to something in NoScript causing other addons' custom HTTP channel data/properties being dropped. Some investigation points to NoScript's use of the redirectTo() method on HTTP channel as the likely culprit in recent NoScript versions (testing 2.9.0.12rc1), but it's probably not the only culprit, as this issue occurs with every NoScript version functional on Gecko 45.1.1.
Is this a bug in NoScript or can a workaround be made?
