Yes. I have it set to true and my Firefox does not make any connection to Firefox Sync.

Yes but this only gets some NoScript settings. In my profile, looks like it's:
- Permissions and preset configurations,
- XSS user choices,
- Cross-tab identity leak protection global settings,
- The "Enable setting permanent permissions in incognito/private tabs" setting,
- The "Any capability blocked in the top document must be blocked in its subdocuments too" setting.

Which IIUC should be enough for what you're seeking?

Thank you. It seems I made a fault with my last test. I could restore the site-settings with copying storange-sync-v2.* But it's a pity that it is still necessary to copy the storage\*.* files to restore the checkbox "restore settings after browser-restart" and dark/light design + high-contrast.

Good point. I would think most if not all NoScript users would want this one synced across all their systems.

Giorgio, is there a technical reason why the enforceOnRestart setting isn't stored in storage.sync when possible?
