what noscript version?

[shm]

5.1.8.1

[barbaz]

Not seeing that here.

Please create a clean profile from scratch. Install only NoScript 5.1.8.1, leaving all the defaults.
Does the problem still exist?
If not, what if you then import your NS settings into the clean profile using the Import and Export buttons *on the very bottom* of NS Options?
If that still doesn't reproduce the problem, NoScript is not the culprit... try Standard Diagnostic (leaving NS enabled) to isolate and correct the real cause.

Let us know, thanks.

reinstalling fixed the problem.

i didn't need to import the settings, it remembered everything. how??

Thanks for reporting back, glad you got it working again.

NoScript Classic settings are stored in prefs.js, and they do not get deleted when removing NoScript.
