Summary

The NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox.

It allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plug-ins to be executed only by

trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank) and additionally

provides Anti-XSS protection.

total breakages when policies accidentally map to invalid match patterns *

NOSCRIPT emulation not running in contexts where service workers are disabled,

such as private windows (thanks Peter Wu for patch) v 10.1.9

============================================================= * Completely

revamped CSP backend, enforcing policies both in webRequest and in the DOM *

Reload-less service worker busting * removed obsoleted failsafes, including

forced reloads * Better timing for popup UI feedback on permissions changes *

Send out a "started" message after initialization to help embedders (like the

============================================================= * Hotfix for

reload loops before CSP management refactoring v 10.1.8.22

are injected last among WebExtensions * Fixed regression causing refresh loops

* [L10n] ru and de translations * [XSS] Updated HTML events auto-generate

matching code to use both latest Mozilla source code and archived data since
