Sure, there is a big learning curve to the new version. But don't blame the developer for that! Firefox Quantum requires WebExtensions, which required a rewrite of NoScript, and major changes to how it works.

Aside from the UI (user interface) being a bit confusing, it just works (it even remembers your old site preferences!). That's what you want it to do, right?

Before adding it, take a look at the description, and go to the link shown there. It explains the UI and how it works. Click the "S" once for temporarily trusted, twice for permanently trusted.

For security software, the most important thing is that it functions properly. From everything I have seen, the new version does exactly that. I'm not going to knock off a star (or 4, like some people?!?!?) for a change in the UI; I chalk that up to Quantum (and Firefox's mistake of auto-upgrading to a major new version without asking).

Hello I must say I am disappointed by this new version, i never know what to do to get a clean internet browsing as I used to with further versions. Keep the effort, your tool is very useful. I think i will reset the rules I have, to re-start with something clean. I hope I will see clearer!
Update 13/12/2017 : that was a good idea (to reset the rules), at least to understand how it works without being polluted by old rules!
Keep the effort, change is never easy. 5 stars back !
update 18/01/2018 : the new version is to me far more satisfying since the 'storm' :) thank you Giorgio

This is an excellent addon. There are many people complaining about the last versions. Yes, the new version has some problems and sometimes it does not work as expected. But, please, be patient, those problems will probably be gone soon and it will be a great piece of software again.

So, stop complaining and start collaborating (by submiting bugs, donating or whatever).

Absolutely necessary add-on in my everyday browsing life. The new version works nice even though the interface needs more polish, which is to be expected after the release of a new version. It is a little bit unintuitive (that is why I give it 4 stars at its current state) but offers more choices in finetuning a pages permissions.

Go, Giorgio. This add-on rocks.

This addon has improved a lot after all the recent updates. Also, i may be in the minority here, but i really like the new UI.. The options page however is still sluggish, to the point that it is unusable to me.. ( with an 8 core CPU,16 GB RAM, Radeon RX 480 8 GB computer). So 4 stars because it still has issues.

Thanks for this wonderful extension!

Recently I gave this a 3-star review (I believe the version at the time was 10.1.3 or thereabouts), with my two biggest issues being the dramatic performance impact on certain websites (TweetDeck in particular just froze up for minutes at a time) and the irritating intrusiveness of the XSS popups, especially since it kept forgetting my per-site settings.

I’m happy to report both these issues have since been fixed some time in the last few days – I’ve stopped experiencing freeze-ups, and whilst I’m still a bit annoyed at the XSS popups, now they at least remember my settings so they stop pestering me when I revisit a site afterwards. For these reasons, I’m changing my rating to 5 stars, the same I would have given before the WebExtension update.

Finally, a suggestion about the UI (and unlike too many here, I perfectly understand you can’t bring the old one back). I’m getting used to it and it’s become almost second-nature to use. However, one thing I find somewhat unintuitive about it is the layout of the Default/Trusted/Untrusted/Custom buttons: specifically, how choosing one causes it to expand, taking up space previously used by the other buttons. I always felt it might feel simpler and smoother if the buttons had a static width and all displayed their text labels even when unselected. Then upon clicking one, it would darken or grow brighter or something to show it’s been selected, without changing shape or position.

Just my two cents. I know you’re getting hammered a lot and I sympathize. Your hard work and devotion shows. It’s been bumpy, but the new NoScript is now at a place where I’m happy to use it and recommend it. Please keep up the good work.

The best <3

Please, explain in the add-on description why does NoScript now ask for a new permission to "download files and read and modify the browser's download history".

Besides, the new UI quite sucks, but the rules list semi-transparency seems to be what makes the NoScript Settings page sluggish.

Whoa, this new version is great! Jus' like 2 girls 1 cup!
PS: Why NoScript need to read the download history now? LOL

EDIT: Ok, that's fine. Thank you for the reply. Still, the new version is unfriendly, like others say too.

EDIT after 2 years i tried it again: UI still sucks, my rating remains 2/5. Too bad.

Main good news continues with 10.1.6.1.
So happy with this fast progress!

• Added "Reset to defaults" button and "Temporarily set top-level sites to TRUSTED" option.

• 10.1.6.1 now seems to handle XSS much better, and recalls my settings.

This is precisely what has been missing. Visual ability to switch between sites from temp to permanent and back again is perfect.

Great progress, glad to NoScript back on track with this pure Webextension for Firefox Quantum.

In its current state, it is barely serviceable. It is still better than nothing, I know, because when I disabled it I started getting hijacked by rogue webpage scripts again. But it has alot of catching up to do to be as pleasing as the pre-Quantum version.

That annoying, user unfriendly popup window really has to go. The previous version had a more discreet and tolerable messaging UI at the bottom of the screen. Now it is in popup window format at the top of the page, in your face to annoy you very quickly.

And a suggestion of a much needed feature. An option dedicated to automatically allowing Facebook scripts. Since nearly every website now days has scripts for Facebook, it is getting tiresome to have to allow Facebook with nearly every website I visit.

Molt bona. Imprescindible. No li dono 5 estrelles per què la corva d'aprenentatge és costeruda.

Crashes Firefox and interface is way worse.

Excellent extension! The new version is receiving too much criticism. It takes but a short time to figure out the functionality of the new version. It is also a work in progress with some of the features missing from the previous version still to come. The developer deserves credit for revamping this in a relatively timely manner in order to comply with the new requirements under Firefox Quantum.

a MUST for everyone.... simply the BEST addon that has been developed for firefox

Great improvements from first new webextensions version. Good job. Keep on.

After a few starting issues (whitelisted sites weren´t saved permanently, the migration didn´t work so I started with default sites on v10 @ Firefox 57) I had some mail exchange with the developer. He responded quite fast and had the right answers. He also implemented a feature request for the debug window within 1 or 2 hours which fixed my problems totally. Now I´m happy again, great work, 10 points go to Italy!

The addon doesn't save trusted, untrusted and custom entries. Maybe the plugin stores information in non-persistent storage (which is cleared with any privacy-aware configuration).

This makes the plugin unusable, as re-allowing all services every single time is way more time consuming than just blocking scripts alltogether.

And even if you manage to save settings, they're not synched, so users who use two or more devices need to re-apply settings every time, on every. single. device.

The old version worked a whole lot better, it's a shame this level of quaity has not yet been achieved on the new WebExtension version.

The latest extension for Firefox Quantum is a real PITA because whitelisted sites are not saved, so they have to be recreated every time FF restarts. Extremely annoying and time consuming.
