When you created a clean profile and installed NoScript, the new profile would have had only the
Default Whitelist. Your own additions and deletions would have been lost. Same with Untrusted and all other changes from default settings.
When you updated to Firefox 12, was it in the same folder where the previous version was?
(In XP,
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox. I try to avoid Vista, so don't know if it's changed, sorry.

If so, then it would have kept the same settings and configurations. If your existing F11 profile had your modifications, the update would as well. If the F11 profile was the clean one that we created for test purposes, the update would use that one.
If you put F12 in a different folder or location than F11, it's like starting over from scratch again. All of the default settings, for both the browser and for all add-ons.
If you don't want to use the Firefox Synch tool (I don't), you can import your NoScript settings from any other profile by starting that profile and browser.
Open NoScript Options, doesn't matter which tab, and at the very bottom, click Export. Save wherever it's convenient. (NOTE: If you use the Export button on Whitelist tab, it exports only Whitelist and Untrusted settings. So use the very bottom Export button.)
Open the new browser, open NS Options, and click Import. Navigate to where you saved the exported file, double-click it, etc.
Another way to synchronize *everything* -- automatically add the extensions as well as all settings -- is
here.
I hope this helps.
