The NoScript extension is the 5th most downloaded extension for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/?sort=us...). If you want to show a blank screen or a broken website to those users, that's up to you. Some of them may really want to see your site, so they might try to figure out which of the twenty domains they should enable, and which of the thirty they should enable after that one doesn't help them. Most will likely click on the back icon and see what's next on the list.

Yes, and Firefox is the 3rd of 4th most used browser at less than 10% (which is bad). So the subset of actual Firefox users that use NoScript is absolutely not worth supporting.

Sure, but we're not talking extreme niche here or anything. It was downloaded by over two million users.

And the vast majority of those, if they want to use netflix, just whitelist it anyway. The amount of revenue lost must be tiny compared to the costs.
