I transferred all my firefox extensions with everything else to my new computer via Mozbackup. However, NoScript didn't work on the firefox I transferred to (It still works perfectly on the old computer). It tried to update itself but couldn't. So I uninstalled it and then tried to re-install. But it won't. What should I do know?

Try these steps until NoScript is working right again.

1) The extensions database is corrupted. Exit Firefox, delete the files mentioned here in this linked article, restart Firefox. Uncorrupted versions of the files will be automatically regenerated. Corrupt_extension_files.
2) Perform a Standard Diagnostic. If NoScript isn't working by the time you get to the "Create a new profile" step. That step should do the trick.

Hope this helps. Please let us know whether it does.

One addition to the original post: I deselected everything under "unknown files" during Mozbackup backup. Maybe some necessary stuff didn't make it to the new computer and this causes the problem. So if you can tell which files under "unknown files" should be added to the backup file, the problem might go away.

OK, deleting those files worked. Thanks a lot!

That was quick! You're welcome.
