NoScript 5.0.4 freezing Palemoon

Hi everybody,
I've just installed NoScript to give it a try. So far I'm very satisfied. There are only 2 issues I found so far, when accessing
www.workopolis.com and
www.autoblog.com Palemoon 27.3.0 x64 freezes and I have to use task manager to end it. If I wait long enough (~60 seconds) it starts working again.
If I chose not to allow the two websites mentioned above, it works but the pages are partially displayed.
I have adblock latitude 4.0.1 installed but it's disabled on those pages.
I'm running Windows 7 SP1 X64.
I tried to post the console's content but I get a spam message. I uploaded as a picture

Any ideas?
Thank you!

Both sites work for me in Pale Moon 27.3.0 with NoScript
latest development build, even with Scripts Globally Allowed. I'm not seeing any freezing.
Please try NoScript
latest development build, does it work for you?
(Heads-up, you might run into this bug -

Does it work in a clean
profile with only NoScript
latest development build installed?

Just created a new profile and installed noscript. Same behaviour.

Hmm. What are the specs of your computer?

That's better than my hardware, so that's not the issue.
Usually this stuff is XSS filter related. But if that were the case here, I would think I'd be seeing freezing too, no?
I run Pale Moon on Linux64. Maybe a Windows-specific issue?
Aside that, I don't have more ideas atm, sorry. Hopefully someone else will.

There's something odd. After installing NoScript with no other changes/updates, the two websites worked a couple of times and then just stopped working.

I test both sites in Pale Moon 27.3.0 x64 under Win7 with latest NoScript dev version (5.0.6rc4) and all is fine

Thanks yes_noscript for testing.

saphta, what security software (antivirus, firewall, etc) are you running?
Also, what plugins do you have in Pale Moon?

I'm using nod32 as an antivirus. When I created a new profile in Palemoon, NoScript was the only extension installed. As plugins I have Adobe flash and Java.

Can you check whether nod32 is interfering here?

Made no difference. What I found is if I block facebook.net the page doesn't freeze.
