Been using NoScript for many years and recommended it to all, regardless of browser. Since Firefox 142.0 was released, I've had repeated locking up of the browser tabs. By this, I mean that the tabs will simply not reload, and new tabs can be opened, but nothing loads.

Force-closing and restarting Firefox sometimes allows it to work briefly, but generally not long. I've had to disable NoScript altogether.

Running Win11 on all 3 machines. It has not affected Firefox Mobile on Android, nor Brave on the same PC's.

It's hard to say whether this is a NoScript issue or a Firefox 142.0 and higher issue. The only way to resolve it that I've found is to disable the NoScript extension, which ruins most websites for me with constant popups and other junk.

Does this happen also on a clean browser profile with just NoScript installed?

Sincere apologies for the slow reply. Naturally, immediately after posting the problem, both Brave (with NoScript) and Edge (emergency backup - without NoScript) stopped being able to access the web.

Long story short - THAT appears to have been Norton 360....at least at that time not having ANY browser work.

Now having the machine running for several hours, I could not load new pages again. Zero pages in Firefox. Not even Google.com or Amazon. It just sat there not loading. I disabled NoScript and the pages immediately loaded. And yes, those pages loaded fine earlier.

Still have a problem with NoScript without having changed any other extensions.
