- Rated 3 out of 5by Барон Бела, 7 years agoНа хлеб уже мажется, хотя до удобства старой версии еще работать и работать. Надеюсь, этот незаменимый аддон все-таки возродится из пепла.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13560145, 7 years agoHad better experiences with NoScript years ago. The new version with the current Firefox is bad. It forgets settings and is buggy. I'am using ScriptSafe now. It's the same as under chrome. This addon works fine.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13558998, 7 years agoNoScript my favourite extension, made browsing the internet a joy with no unsolicited popups.
But new interface for Firefox 57 is so useless it nearly makes it impossible to use.
It doesn't seem to save page settings for some sites, so you get constantly have to set the settings again for that site.
And the completely missing auto page reload of the old version is complete missing.
So please either put back the old interface or spend some time and make improvements to the layout of the new interface. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13558812, 7 years agoThank you Giorgio!!! NoScript rocks.
Ever since I know Noscript, i feel better being on the internet.
For a long time I used the "old" NoScript, loved it and feel without naked...
57.0.1 on the NEW interface looks like "the next level" - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13441018, 7 years agoW10 17 09, NoScript 10.1.5.1, FF 57.0.1
After lots of testing - really everything works perfectly.
Even better comfort when visiting new sites.
Very glad with the new release!
Thank you Giorgio! - Rated 2 out of 5by Anonymous, 7 years agoThe new version has to be fixed full stop. The UI did not need to be fixed. And now the app does not remember settings on some sites. I'm thinking about uninstalling this until it is back up to its previous quality.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Pairofolives, 7 years ago"In order to operate on this tab, NoScript needs to reload it. Proceed?"
I see this a lot lately. Seems the extension isn't working well. Also, the status icon isn't always showing correct status. - Rated 4 out of 5by Yoon, 7 years agoThis addon still working. The main reason people hate this new version is because they misunderstand the UI. Sure the new version lacks some convenient functions like block list. You have to configue every site the first time you visit it. But after that everything worked like a charm.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13557273, 7 years agoIn its current state it is absolutly not functional and productive. I liked the older interface a lot more.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13556987, 7 years agoJust joined on here to give my view.
I've used NoScript continually since its inception and thinking back there were a few hiccups early days which over time got ironed out, I think it will be the same with this version.
There were lots of folk ranting when it couldn't be used on the new Firefox, some demanding that something be done instantly, which was obviously impossible.
Giorgio obviously got on with this version and possibly rushed both building it and putting it out, these things happen.
However, buggy though it is, it is useable and as with all similar programs when many folk start using them bugs surface, the bugs are a PITA but hopefully, with time, will be resolved.
Lets not forget, that thanks to Giorgio's time and effort over the years, many thousands of surfers, me included, have been protected from who knows what was lurking behind some scripts.
Why not cut him a little slack, even such as the mighty Microsoft, Google, Apple and such others put out buggy stuff and that's with their thousands of programmers and millions of pounds!
So why have I given it two ( for the time being ) stars.
Mainly due to two things.
One, to me very important, there not being available, from the day it came out, any decent instructions in layman's terms, as to how to use it, I'm reasonably computer savvy and can normally get my head around most things, eventually, but this had me going spare, marking sites as trusted then having them revert to untrusted after shutting down and re-starting was a real pain, until I discovered only this morning, whilst reading these revues, that a simple click of the little clock solved this problem, thanks to those who mentioned it.
The second reason was because of the initial buggy nature of the first release.
Will I continue using it, of course.
Why, simply because, even as it is, I can't find another program that is as good as this one and going by past experience it will settle down.
Thanks Giorgio - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13556524, 7 years agoThere is a problem with the settings. Every time I close Firefox , the settings of what sites are trusted is lost. Every time I start Firefox, I have to configure each page all over again. This is very annoying.
- Rated 3 out of 5by hotsause, 7 years agoI met a bug , when clicked on the noscript button it maximized the firefox windows

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13555626, 7 years agoIt was really rough in the beginning - bad and buggy UI, settings did not seem to persist, etc. but at least since 10.1.5.1, it's looking good. I wish there were clear directions, but the developer did give some suggestions in a response or two below that basically clarified everything: click the naked "S" to mark something as "trusted." You will notice a clock icon to the right of the "S" which means that it's temporary. Click the clock again to make it go away and make the "trusted" status permanent. Then there is the "untrusted" button and the "custom" button. The custom button allows you to choose what elements are allowed.
Knowing how to use the 2 buttons, the "trusted" and "untrusted," and the temporary button should help clarify this extension's usage and make it usable again to everyone. I wish the rollout had been smoother from the beginning, but I encourage everyone to give NoScript another look. Also, I hope everyone understands what a monumental change FF57 has brought about in terms of extension development and that extensions like these that do so much behind the scenes have been made extremely difficult to maintain. - Rated 5 out of 5by Drone Pilot, 7 years agoVERY useful ad-on to have while browsing these days. LOT of thanks for the developers who work hard on this for free or on donation (I also donated too!). Keep up the great work !!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13221537, 7 years agoversion 10.1.5.1
i do see some improvement, however there is still a problem on some sites... viewing video .. for example. .. (brightcove.com domain)
if i temporarily allow all on page and then try to trust a certain domain that now shows,, permanently, and then revoke temporary permissions, that domain i just trusted disappears and the page is once again broken.
- on version 5.1.7, all domains were displayed, and i could choose options from the drop down panel.
can you make the new version display all domains in the panel?
also in the new version, can you add back more options?
ie .. general ..temporarily allow top level sites by default .. base 2nd level .. etc?
maybe a reset button as well?
i understand the old UI is gone, but more options and flexibility would be welcome. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13554851, 7 years agoWell to be honest this is a new review.I initially installed noscript the first day it was available and it was just plain bad.Confusing and very hard to configure.So i removed it and waited to see how the updates were progressing.Just installed latest version and i must say it has gotten much better.In fact i plan on keeping it installed for the time being as a lot of the problems in the initial build have been fixed.For those wanting the old ui forget it.It is time for you to move on.I really hope the developer keeps improving this add-on for the latest Firefox.Not there yet but getting better.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12255157, 7 years agoIf I go to the Firefox extensions and click on "More" for NoScript, then click on the reviews to get the reviews for the script and then click on the button to sign in so that I can comment, Firefox gives me a 500 error if NoScript is enabled - even though mousing over the icon in the tool bar shows 0/0. If I disable NoScript I can log in without a problem. I found a similar situation on an on-line banking site last night - even though NoScript showed 0/0 I had to disable it in order to be able to submit a form.
Update 4.12.2017
In V10.1.4 this no longer seems to be a problem - at least for logging in to post reviews here, I haven't tried the banking site again yet.
Thank you - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13553842, 7 years agoGeorgio wrote:

BUT maybe it is not so much about recreating the old thing, than understanding what the problem with the new thing is. First you need to accept that the current approach is simply not intuitive. As a dev (I am one myself, so I had this problem myself) its hard to understand when that happens, because for you its as familiar as a part of your body, but it is obviously a mistery for everbody else.
Also, about your "duty": Its true what you said, but: if many people now dont use NoScript at all, because they do not get it anymore, you decreased web security by a lot.
So:
- Simpler is better. Simpler might be less safer, but if the alternative is not using it at all, it's still better. Way better.
- get rid of the slider. It looks mhm good(?), but its not recognizable as one.
- there is way to much clickable stuff, one does not get what is a button, what a link and whatnot...
- make it simpler: hide everything exept: domain name, status icon and -depending on the status- two buttons for each entry.
- clear design, dont change font size and font color at any time
- No xss-popups. In fact, never, ever use popups.
Instead:
- a simple list of domains like before, each with a status icon in front of it: your blue "S", for allowed, same with a little clock for temporarily allowd, red crossed "S" for disallowed
- depending on the current status of an entry, two buttons:
- if currently allowed: "disallow" and "temp. disallow"
- if currently disallowed: "allow" and "temp. allow"
- these buttons need to be different than the status icon. I would use red X and green hook/check, each with and without a little clock.
- dont make anything but the buttons clickable! not the text, not the status icon.
Thats it.
You can add a (clearly seperated from the other buttons, clearly different graphic) button behind each list entry to hide all the detailed settings, for the expert. Everybody else gets the simple list.
At the very buttom of the list go -clearly separated - three entries: "temp allow all" and "save permissions for this site" and "deactivate noscript".
No problem to do that in html. And believe me, people will love you again. :)
If you would like me to make a mockup of what Ive just desrcibed, just say so and tell me where to send it.
And btw.: You dont owe us anything. People have no right being rude to you about something you gave us for free. But maybe see their ill-advised passion as a testament to how important NoScript is to us. That is something I think, even if you must hate the internet right now.
I thank you for the old NoScript and that it helped increase my security. But I won't use the current one. So I would thank you again if you make it simple and easy to use again.
