I'm running NoScript because otherwise Firefox freezes up a lot. Recently I've had difficulty accessing a site. I suspect the reason is that it uses redirection in a way that frustrates my efforts to give it permission. To test the notion, I'm considering temporarily allowing script globally. How hard is it to reverse? Will I need to redo previous permissions one at a time?
The way I handle this is by creating a special profile which has no extensions or security settings.
Inside your desktop manager open a terminal session and run 'firefox -P --no-remote' The no-remote option opens a new Firefox window and session whether or not you already have one running. Then press 'Create Profile', give it a name, and use that whenever you get into a Firefox / Extensions conflict on a particular web site.
I have my Firefox panel launcher set up to use 'firefox -P --no-remote' always. Tthis allows me vastly more flexibility dealing with multiple websites at the price of a trivial delay during the browser start-up.
This problem is the result of recent changes made to the extensions interface. I can hardly wait to see what is broken with v57.
