Hi,

I just recently updated (With everyone else) to firefox 57 and noscript 10.1.5.5 with the webextension API.

Now, I not infrequently see the following screen. Notice that there are no domains or names associated with each script permission line:

(Sorry for the raw text link, the spam filter kept triggering and not letting me make that a URL)

How do I debug this and continue to use noscript, please?

Apologies for the premature post. I think I just figured this out.

This happens for me when my addressbar compresses the various add-on icons/menus into a single drop down, and I have to select that drop down to get to the noscript dialog.

Then, the portion of the noscript dialog corresponding to the add-on drop down is obscured, as though the add-on drop down is on top of the add-on's dialog. It just so happens that it obscures the domain / host portion of the noscript dialog.

I noticed this also happen with another add-on, and that was the clue I needed to make the association above.

Also, this this does effect multiple add-ons, it appears to be a firefox bug, rather than a noscript issue.

Thanks again, and hopefully this isn't too confusing.
