Activate e10s in beta 43.0b7 (using about:config) / NoScript add-on 2.7 is installed 2. Surf to any site Actual results: The NoScript "notification" bar (at bottom of screen) never appears. Expected results: (On many sites) the NoScript "notification" bar should appear at the bottom of the screen - and does when e10s is turned off.

Why is this blocking bug 1058542 rather than being a duplicate of it?

I assume because it's currently working "fine" in Nightly. Or at least it appears that NoScript is currently much more functional in Nightly than it is in 43.0b7 for some reason.
Yes, it appears to be working OK in Nightly (v45). As for bug 1058542, yes, it appears related. I simply filed this bug because I noticed the issue. I'm not a "computer person" - just a retired English teacher - and I have no idea of the technical issues involved. If I can help with "end-user" testing, I'll be happy to do so, but that's about the limit of my abilities.
(In reply to Gingerbread Man from comment #1) > Why is this blocking bug 1058542 rather than being a duplicate of it? I agree, I think this is a duplicate of bug 1058542. JoeG, Why do Gingerbread Man and I think this is a duplicate? I'll give you two reasons: 1. bug 1058542 (e10s-noscript) [e10s] "NoScript" add-on does not work with e10s was opened 2014-08-26. Giorgio Maone, the author of NoScript, is well aware that NoScript does not work properly when you enable e10s. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1058542#c3 and other Comments by Giorgio Maone in bug 1058542. 2. Giorgio Maone has been helping Authors of other Extensions to get their Extension working using e10s. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis/Meetings/2015-04-02 and all the Electrolysis Meetings since April 2015, that are linked there. He is keen to get e10s (Electrolysis - multi-process Firefox) enabled on Release. However, he can't get NoScript working with e10s. I am certain that if he had got *all aspects of* NoScript working *correctly* with e10s he would have announced it and closed bug 1058542. As I rely on NoScript and my 'normal browser' is Aurora / Developer Edition I have (more than once) 'switched off e10s' because I know that NoScript does not work properly. I 'switched off e10s' by 'un-ticking' "Enable multi-process Firefox Developer Edition" in about:preferences#general I'll comment in the thread you started at mozillaZine http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2976659 The convention, in bugzilla, is that 'additional reports' of the same issue are regarded as duplicates. In this case the *main* issue is: NoScript add-on (Extension) does not work with e10s. JoeG, as you opened this bug, please can you close it as a duplicate of bug 1058542. DJ-Leith
