"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 Firefox user 19806246, a month agoThis is one of the most distinctive Firefox add-ons for me. To be honest, I'm not using it right now because I'm still learning how to use it more effectively. I'm actually trying to learn more about internet security, and I've noticed that using this add-on is great for protecting your privacy from malicious JavaScript. I highly recommend it. Thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Heather, a month agoProbably one of the most essential addons for firefox, next to ublock. Great for security but it's recommended to have a tech background cuz the default settings can break many sites.

- Rated 5 out of 5by noewaeda, 2 months agoit's an essential extension. without it, using the internet is like walking directly into a warzone.
on the strict setting, it makes browsing slightly more clunky due to having to give websites some trust, but it's usually not that big of a deal. - Rated 5 out of 5by Max Rower, 2 months ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by fidius, 2 months agoI uninstalled this extension because it randomly started interfering with browsing due to some nonsense swipe-style gesture 'feature'. Used to be a good extension but I'm not inclined to trust it anymore.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19773062, 2 months agoDue to a bug that effected mobile scrolling, I disabled Noscript for a day and discovered what a horrible experience browsing was without it.
It seems the bug is now fixed, and in record time too. Thanks Giorgio. Fantastic extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tsuki, 2 months ago
