I installed boinc from the bar by: http://boincfrance.ourtoolbar.com/ and I do not know why your extension blocks it? I tested all my extensions and when I disable my bar you working again ...

I use FF 7 in win 7 64 bit

I don't speak French, but in general, many or most toolbars contain some spyware. They may report everywhere you browse, or in the worst case, every keystroke you make.

The reputation web site, mywot.com, rates this toolbar site as Unsatisfactory.
It rates the parent, ourtoolbar.com, also Unsatisfactory. Some comments there:
Malicious Website! -
This site includes Malware - "
Collects your PII [personally Identifiable Information], such as name, ZIP code, Credit Card number, etc and sells to third parties.

Proof: Click "Website Privacy", scroll to middle of page, then click on "http://www.directresponse.com/privacy.html". It has red WOT ratings and it says they collect your "name, email address, company name, SS#/TIN, web address, traffic, and zip code". "
Please check these reviews very thoroughly, and also perhaps through search engines and other sources.

Also please note that there is an experimental NoScript service: Middle-click or shift+click on any script in the Menu, and it will point you to links that provide such information. See FAQ 1.11.

You may not wish to keep this toolbar.
Please note that uninstalling may be difficult, as these tend to spread their components around. A web search may give instructions for removing this.

I am not saying that it must cause problems with Firefox. I am saying that the toolbar may be sending your private information to places that you don't know about and wouldn't approve of. However, if you do want to keep the toolbar, the best way to diagnose any problems is with Standard Diagnostic. It may be another extension (add-on) that is causing the problem, not NoScript. This process will tell.

There may be a small language barrier. First, I understood that NoScript was blocking the toolbar. But the words above imply that the toolbar is interfering with NoScript. ???

In addition to Standard Diagnostic, please look in Firefox Tools > Error Console whenever a problem happens. Look for red Error messages, and for any other type of messages that are labeled NoScript messages. Copy them, and paste them here.

Thank you.
