Did you change browsers or something? Noscript seems to still work fine for me. Linux Firefox 56.0 (64-bit)

No, I'm using Firefox 57 (sure you are still on 56? 57 should be in the repos) and after a shaky start with NoScript 10, whatever the latest update did has badly broken the extension for many users. I am hopeful it will be as good as it used to be some day but today it really is badly broken and unusable. See the reviews from the last 24 hours, it's a mess: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/revi...

There was a huge change with Firefox 57.
It is getting back to usable but it still lacks ABE and some other tools.

Firefox 57 was release a couple weeks ago and breaks most extension by dropping the legacy add-on system.

For the avoidance of doubt, NoScript version 10 shipped a few days after FF57 was released, and it is an update to that combination which is not working for me. I uninstalled & reinstalled the extension, and clicking on the settings icon instantly crashes the browser. It is totally unusable for me.
