No Script removal issue
« on: November 22, 2014, 05:32:13 AM »
What's the deal guys? Any fix/work around?

I'm getting tired of it repeatedly removing No Script from Firefox.

Easiest thing to do is not using the browser cleanup tool.

I'm getting tired of it repeatedly removing No Script from Firefox.

Given that this is the Avast Free/Pro/Suite forum - this really isn't an issue with avast, even if you are trying to use the Browser Cleanup to remove it.

The Firefox NoScript add-on is a very well known (good) add-on, which has to be installed by the user by choice (no auto or malicious installation). So it would be highly unlikely that the avast Browser Cleanup would remove it, if as I suspect it considers it clean/good.

You don't say how you have tried to remove it - and or what errors are displayed, etc. ?
You should be able to uninstall it from the Firefox Add-ons in the same way as other add-ons - this requires firefox is restarted to complete the uninstall of the NoScript add-on.

The problem the OP is having is Avast removing NoScript.  This has supposedly been fixed on November 18th via a VPS update.  Perhaps not.  I have Browser Cleanup Tool uninstalled, and no problem.

Ah, misread the OP's post.

I have to say I'm surprised that NoScript, one of the most popular and good firefox add-ons was being removed.

I too don't have the Browser Cleanup installed, never have - I look after my own browser cleanup - mainly by not installing junk in the first place.
