The add-on works for me. I went to your url https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=search clicked "+ Add to Firefox", got the permissions pop-up, accepted the permissions, and I have a second-pop-up: *NoScript* has been added to Firefox. Manage your add-ons by clicking (puzzle) in the (hamburger) menu. [ ]Allow this extension to run in Private Windows. Clicked "Okay, Got It". NoScript is now running; it has an icon in my toolbar, and appears in the list of add-ons. (I don't want to keep running NoScript, so I now disable it.) I don't know why it doesn't work for you. --George
