Tor/TBB and Noscript, why doesn't it work right any more?

I love the fact that I didn't have to create a dummy account to post on this forum. I wish more forums would do that. I don't like the captcha, or the fact that it just expired 5 seconds into me typing this message.
I've been using NoScript since Firefox's versions were in the single digits, and started using Tor sometime in between. When Tor updated to QWuantum, it went stupid, constantly defaulting NoScript to allow all the stuff it's supposed to be blocking. I saw that a while ago, an option to override the FireFox setting was installed. I tried that, and finally upgraded from 8.x to whatever is current today, and Tor still reset the NoScript Extension. I also changed the setting to "Tor browser will remember history". It was at some other weird setting.
I used to consider Tor a more hardened browser, but if I can't even configure it the way I want, clearly it's not. Am I doing it wrong, or is it time to abandon the Tor Browser?
