Posted April 7, 2016 Netlinked daily today informed me of this: http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/04/noscript-and-other-popular-firefox-add-ons-open-millions-to-new-attack/ I use Firefox with NoScript and love it. Would you guys say this is actually worrying enough that I should disable it? Thanks. Lenovo Ideapad 720s 14 inch ------ One day I'll have a desktop again...

Posted April 7, 2016 If forum posts are anything to go by, it would seem the vulnerability may be an issue with untrusted extensions. Those you already know to not have malware will be unaffected so long as they're not updated.

Posted April 7, 2016 I use it as well, for the reason of possibly blocking threats. This might not be good. I recently got hit by a sality.at pretty hard, and I still don't know where it came from. I thought it might have been because I made a mistake of using IE (I know) with MB disabled. But if it's a weakness in NoScript, that's not good....
