Win7-64, Firefox 52.0.1, NoScript 5.0.3.rc1

YouTube stopped working today and NoScript appears to be the culprit. After removing NoScript, it also appears to be responsible for a number of problems I've been having on other sites too. Here's what the console says with CSS turned off:

Code: Select all

Trying to view YouTube videos causes the loading circle to spin indefinitely, eventually throwing up a generic error message. Comments won't load; it just shows the loading circle forever. The notification box is also completely empty. A few weeks ago I started having problems with YouTube embeds, where the videos will play but can't be interacted with: no pause, no volume, etc. It's also been causing problems with ReCaptcha image puzzles where about half the boxes can't be selected. And simultaneously with the YouTube problems, comments on LiveLeak also stopped loading. Trying to "allow all of this page" or even "disable on this site" doesn't help, but disabling NoScript entirely fixes the problems.

Firefox 53.0b4 + NS 5.0.3rc1 - same problem.
Similar behavior on coub.com. https://coub.com/view/srnd2 html5_player_video_load_failed

Updating to 5.0.3rc2 should fix this.
