User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:100.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/100.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Make sure that you have noscript installed otherwise you can't see the scripts.
  2. Open a new tab and search something in duckduckgo. Make sure duckduckgo script is trusted. and it should be the new tab with first time search something (shuldn't be reloaded as wel)
  3. click in any url listed. bug effects most of the sites including google
  4. or put some website url to firefox search bar after searching some thing in search engine

Actual results:

I always blocked JavaScript for most of the sites. Today I noticed DuckDuckGo is using google's JavaScript. Then i thought it might be a bug, so I tried to reproduce it and it happened again.

Expected results:

There shouldn't be any script injected from search engine. It also happened on bank sites. This is critical issue. It can leak our sensitive information to third party.

This sounds more like a possible issue with NoScript than with Firefox itself. You might be better off reporting this issue to the NoScript maintainers.

I tested noscript with chrome and the bug didn't showed up

Script blocking is a feature of NoScript, not Firefox. Please file an issue with NoScript. Maybe the NoScript people can figure out why this isn't working correctly in Firefox.
