Hi all, new poster but have had NoScript for years and no issues until the last day or two. I noticed suddenly that a lot of sites I frequent were having errors:

Crunchyroll was throwing an Error when I tried to play any videos
DirecTV stream was just not loading videos
Amazon Music was having issues loading
HBO Max wasn't loading videos
Twitch wasn't loading videos
Disney+ was also not loading videos
ChatGPT was not allowing me to upload files, only text.

I checked all of my Firefox settings with performance and video, and none of them fixed it, so my next try was to boot Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode, and this worked, which meant my extensions had to be the problem. So I disabled and enabled every combination until I was able to isolate the issue to NoScript alone. I enable NoScript, none of my video players function. I disable it, everything is normal. I'm not 100% sure what update caused this, whether it was a Firefox Update or a NoScript Update, but something is throwing things all out of whack.

Yeah, I can confirm this at least on Twitch, as I don't use the other websites you listed.

Some basic functionalities aren't working on Twitch, mainly revolving around little context pop-ups, like the little "Okay, got it!" pop-up that you need to click in order to start chatting, or emotes, or channel points, or the profile dropdown when you click the avatar up in the corner, etc etc. I can't even properly login; the login popup doesn't show up, except when I navigated to the Twitch main page, in which case it showed up, but it was stuck behind all the video thumbnails and nothing on it was clickable. Whitelisting some websites that weren't already enabled didn't help anything.

I ended up opening up Waterfox, where I didn't have any extensions installed yet, and Twitch worked properly. Upon installing NoScript, the website broke in the same way as over on Firefox. So yeah, something broke on NoScript when it comes to this "pop-up" functionality on various websites, it seems.
