"Sadly, I have to agree with some of the other reviews.....
The new version is quite simply, POO.
This is perfectly illustrated by the fact that I had to re-allow scripts that had been set as trusted just to post this sad reflection on what was, for the most part a highly useful and mature extension with a user interface that was relatively straight forward to interpret and use.
The new interface is Terrible to put it mildly. Its over 'simplification' and design has produced a bewildering experience that makes ones head ache in a state of near vertigo when first used. Just to add insult to injury, as previously stated, you will probably have repeat the process when the settings are forgotten.
No script has always been annoying when visiting a site for the first time. Identifying the minimum scripts allowed for site functionality whilst blocking the rest, was a tedious process but it was offset by the fact it only had to be done once. The result was a huge dividend of security, privacy, speed of page load, reduced memory usage and increased stability to the browser as a whole from avoiding execution of unnecessary and in many cases poorly written, bloated code.
In short the new NoScript is a horrible disappointment, in stark contrast to the wonderful browsing experience of Firefox 57"
At that time I felt the review was completely justified.
But, there is hope!
The UI is improving and in some ways, superior to the old which I think we all have to agree was a bit clumsy.
I understand now the 'forgetting' of settings directly attributable to the API changes in Quantum and Mozillas role in it and the unfair but understandable scorn from users like myself who have become accustomed to features being removed and UI changes from likes of Microsoft and others in the name of 'progress' and our willingness to unload both barrels as a result.
I persisted with noscript, temporally allowing just about everything, relying on Sandboxie protection.
It improves with every update to my everlasting gratitude and I cannot wait for the day I rate it 5 stars!
THANK YOU to the developer(s) for all of your hard work and persistence in the face of mounting criticism from people like myself.
No Script is in my opinion a vital extension for security, privacy, stability, user control and the enrichment of the browsing experience...

- Rated 5 out of 5by TOTGB, 8 days agoA web browser without this extension is not a web browser. NoScript gives you power to do anything on firefox. Security levels are at max thanks to NoScript.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kurt, a month agoNoScript is great when you want to block XSS exploits directly! I kinda love this extension!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18814116, a month agoС тих пір, як я почав користуватися цим застосунком кілька років тому, я взагалі не розумію, як я раніше шарився по інтернетах без нього. Більш потужного, гнучкого і надійного інструмента, щоб налаштувати перегляд під себе, я ще не зустрічав. Він вимагає деякого розуміння, що саме показувати, а що саме приховувати, тому plug-and-play для нього не працює - він якраз і потрібен для тонкого налаштування, щоб при відвідуванні рекламних помийок, сумнівних і дуже сумнівних сайтів заблокувати майже все, а потім давати дозволи на відкриття того, що вам потрібно. Тому різниця в перегляді того ж Ютуба через застосунок на смартфоні і через комп в бравзері просто як дві паралельні реальності.
Величезна дяка розробникам за цей чудовий застосунок! o/ - Rated 5 out of 5by fidgeter, 2 months ago

Thank you very much for quickly fixing the problem, awesome work, version 13.6.29 works perfectly.
I wish you all the best and good luck.

Hello
I remember the beginnings of this extension, the year was 2005, it was a long time ago, since then you have done a lot of work until such a form of the extension was created.
Please, now a problem has arisen, the latest versions of the extension cause problems with loading the youtube page, the page freezes.
I downgraded from version 13.6.28 of the extension to version 13.6.25
Released June 22, 2026, which runs without problems
versions 13.6.28, 13.6.27, 13.6.26 are problematic
I use FF 128.14.0 ESR
Thank you very much for everything
May you be successful - Rated 3 out of 5by Montalaar, 3 months agoUsing it for 5+ years, awesome tool to stop trackers and even certain ads, a must have for me!
The last update broke Youtube with NoScript though: Any video will slow down the entire Firefox tab until it's completely unresponsive and Firefox asks to shut it down due to performance issues.
I did a roll-back to an older Firefox, disabled all my extensions 1-by-1 until Youtube worked again: Without NoScript sadly. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19967680, 4 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Private Jenkins, 4 months agoFantastic for keeping data-scraping scripts away from my personal info or history.
However, as of June 1st, the add-on will only update the script list once per refresh hit, and I have to click off the icon in order to process more scripts to get a certain page "unbroken".
Very annoying, hence why this is only a 4-star (even barely! I give this add-on a 3.5 in reality) review.
Fix this issue, and the rest of the problems I encounter will again be someone else's problem. - Rated 4 out of 5by Alphonse, 4 months agoStops unknown scripts from running until your approval. But a lot of websites will break without third-party scripts, and for now you simply must guess your own until it works. Interface cuts off long domain-names.
