Hello Qubes Community,

Has anyone noticed the blue/white noscript S button is missing since a
recent whonix-torbrowser update? AFAIK this is needed use javascript in
whonix.

Anyone notice this or have a workaround?

thx!

See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30600 .

It's a pretty contentious issue, with Tor Browser devs closing as
WONTFIX because they plan to introduce a new permissions UI sometime in
the future.

The NoScript widget still exists, and in fact its use is apparently
still necessary for some sites to work, but you'll have to manually add
the widget back to the toolbar (Settings button > Customize... >
Right-click NoScript > Add to Toolbar).

Hey, thanks!

So really just annoying in Qubes to have to re-enable the widget in
(whonix) disp-VMs.

Appreciate the link to the tor project issue.
