NS and linux (mint Sarah)

Hi all,

I am not able to download NoScript in linux mint Sarah which I run in a virtual machine. After installing FF57, I keep getting error messages both from the browser ("There was an error downloading...") and on Mozilla's addon site (there I'm being told that the file might be corrupted). Firefox's troubleshooting option didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Try this -

1) Right-click the link to download NoScript > Save Link As

2) Go to Tools > Add-ons Manager > Extensions

3) Drag the manually-downloaded NoScript xpi into the Extensions window

Does it work?

I don't know why but I tried it again before trying your method and this time it worked. Weird.

Thank you anyway and happy Holidays!
