NoScript/Zotero crash Firefox when accessing DE Wikipedia

Both NoScript and Zotero have been updated recently and now Firefox crashes (and I mean: crashes) each time when accessing the German Wikipedia, e.g.
https://de.wikipedia.org/. Loading a Wikipedia page is completely sufficient to provoke the error, no need to access any Zotero functionality.
This happens only if
both add-ons are active. If only one of NoScript or Zotero is active (and all other add-ons being deactivated), I can access the German Wikipedia just fine.

This addon? -

What are the associated crash report URL(s) from about:crashes? (If the links don't start with "bp-", first click it to submit the crash report.)
Have you reported this to Zotero as well?

Here's the last crash I triggered yesterday while testing:

And here's another one I encountered just a few minutes ago. It has nothing to do with the German Wikipedia:

Yes, I also reported this to the Zotero team, please see
https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/65 ... 1547746017. In fact, I first reported it to them, but they said they only made a little innocent fix (my words).

Older versions exhibit the same behaviour; I went back until NoScript 2.9.5.2 and tried them all. However, I assumed that I could replace a newer version by and older one by simply installing the latter.
(I'll report this observation to the corresponding Zotero ticket
https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/65 ... 017#latest, too.)

Correct.
The only other thing I can think of atm is that a Firefox update might have caused the conflict. But the timing of this issue, plus your user-agent string, make that seem unlikely.
